Arkansas Takeback is a vital initiative supporting the national Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) Drug Take Back Program, aimed at combating the opioid epidemic in Arkansas. By organizing biannual Take Back collection days in spring and fall, Arkansas Takeback unites law enforcement and community partners to promote safe medication disposal and reduce prescription drug misuse.

Through hundreds of secure drop-off boxes located throughout the state, residents can easily dispose of unwanted medications, ensuring they don’t fall into the hands of those who might abuse them. The program also provides valuable resources, including the ReviveAR app, which offers information on opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery, as well as instructions for administering naloxone during an overdose.

Arkansas Takeback is dedicated to enhancing community safety and health by offering various educational tools and support for residents, law enforcement, and pharmacies. Together, they work towards a drug-free Arkansas, highlighting the importance of monitoring, securing, and responsibly disposing of medications.
