We know not everyone finishes their prescriptions, and [Deterra] is such a simple way to keep medication out of the wrong hands and protect the environment.

Megan Allain

MPH, CHES, Director of Community Impact, Inspira Health
When one of the DEA take back event sites that we went to was full, Deterra was the only means for people to dispose of their medications. It was nice that we had the pouches because otherwise those people would have had no option for disposal.
