Expanding and Improving Access to Safe Drug Disposal Options in Vermont

Vermont is taking a multi-faceted approach to addressing and preventing opioid addiction that involves multiple state agencies and community providers and partners. One of these approaches has been the development and evaluation of a comprehensive statewide drug disposal system designed to promote safe disposal and reduce the supply of prescription drugs available for diversion, misuse, and abuse.

This webinar will provide a description of

1) Vermont’s statewide drug disposal system and efforts to make drug disposal options available to residents statewide and

2) the planned activities for and initial findings from an evaluation of the system.
