  • Friday, October 18, 2019

In partnership with the Hamilton County Drug Coalition, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee is holding Drug Take Back Day events to give residents a safe, secure and confidential venue to dispose of their unused prescription drugs.

Opioid overdoses accounted for 66 percent of all drug overdose deaths in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.¹ It’s estimated that more than half of people 12 and older who misuse prescription pain relievers obtained them from a friend or family member.²
