Dear Sisters and Brothers:
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled a National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, to be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal while educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. In addition, Take Back Day provides an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.
This is a great opportunity for those who missed previous events or have accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs to dispose of those medications easily and safely.
For more information, including a Collection Site Locator, public service announcements, resources and treatment information, please visit DEA’s website https://takebackday.dea.gov/.
If you or a loved one have questions or concerns about prescription drugs, or alcohol, or would like to speak to someone about addiction services, the IAM’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to help. You can reach out to District 142 EAP Director Paul Shultz by email at or , or by phone at (704) 907-3563 (24 Hour Confidential Voicemail). With best wishes we remain
Sincerely and fraternally,
John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
Paul Shultz
Director DL 142 EAP
