P.R.I.D.E. gives away Drug Deactivation Systems 

       P.R.I.D.E. of Tuscaloosa also implements the “Deterra Drug Deactivation” campaign. The Deterra® Drug Deactivation System Pouches provide safe, convenient, and permanent disposal of unused, expired, or unwanted medications at home or in a clinical setting.  Our plant-based Deterra Pouches uses organic proprietary activated carbon to deactivate drugs and prevent future environmental contamination. Deterra Pouches also contains a smaller percentage of plastic when disposed of than competitor products. Reduce your carbon footprint with an environmentally sound approach to drug disposal. The Deterra® System deactivates prescription drugs, pills, patches, liquids, creams, and films. Deterra renders them inert, unavailable for misuse and safe for the environment. In a simple 3-step process, a user deactivates the drugs by putting them in a Deterra pouch or container, adding water, shaking, and throwing it away. It’s truly that simple. It is the only product that is independently tested and scientifically proven to destroy drugs for good. P.R.I.D.E. Staff placed a QR Code on each of these bags for the recipient to scan and receive more information on P.R.I.D.E. of Tuscaloosa’s programs and additional resources. ​
