The NADDI organization facilitates cooperation and collaboration on many levels between entities such as law enforcement, healthcare professionals, state regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical manufacturers and retailers in the area of prevention and investigation of prescription drug diversion. NADDI has responded to the numerous inquires of our members to develop, Project Drug Drop, a centralized information resource for our law enforcement partners who are interested in learning about how to facilitate a drug take-back event. Project Drug Drop will assist our law enforcement partners with information, guidance, and directional support to develop and implement the best drug disposal strategies for their communities. In an effort to reduce the misuse and abuse of pharmaceutical drugs on our streets we hope to provide our members with access to the most updated information on drug disposal strategies and to promote a variety of safe drug disposal options.
On August 21st 2010 NADDI coordinated a Florida Statewide Drug Take Back event uniting The State of Florida Office of Drug Control, Walgreen’s Retailer and Informed Families/ the Florida Family Partnership using the Lock Your Meds® materials to drive people to bring in their unused prescription medication to one of 39 sites throughout the state of Florida.
