Safely Disposing, Protecting Our Community: Drug Take Back Success

For the fourth year in a row, Up North Prevention proudly partnered with the Alpena Senior Center for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This year, community members turned in 20 pounds of unwanted and leftover prescription medications for safe disposal.

Up North Prevention transported the medications to Gaylord, Michigan, where they were turned over to the DEA for final disposal. Through continued collaboration with the Alpena Senior Center, Up North Prevention remains committed to keeping unused medications out of the wrong hands and protecting our community from potential harm.
