NADDI and the C.A.R.E.S. Alliance Join Attorney General Bondi in Fight Against Prescription Drug Abuse

August 16, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The

National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI)
and the C.A.R.E.S. (Collaborating and
Acting Responsibly to Ensure Safety) Alliance(SM) have joined
Attorney General Pam Bondi in addressing a serious public health
issue in Florida – prescription drug abuse. Attorney General
Bondi sponsored a proclamation today that makes August 27 a
statewide Drug Take Back Day. NADDI and the C.A.R.E.S. Alliance are
co-sponsoring the Take Back Day and invite Floridians to fight
prescription drug abuse by safely disposing of unused prescription
drugs at specified locations.

NADDI, an organization that focuses on drug diversion
activities, has long supported drug take back initiatives. In their
efforts to address the growing problem of abuse and misuse, the
organization shares investigative information and works with a wide
variety of organizations and law enforcement on pharmaceutical drug
diversion. NADDI recently joined the C.A.R.E.S. Alliance, a
coalition of ten national patient safety, provider and drug
diversion organizations focused on reducing opioid pain medication
abuse and increasing responsible prescribing habits.

In addition to co-sponsoring the Florida statewide Drug Take
Back Day, the C.A.R.E.S. Alliance has ongoing programs and
initiatives throughout the country focused on curbing prescription
drug diversion, abuse and misuse. The coalition’s comprehensive
website (www.caresalliance.org)
includes information for physicians, pharmacists, patients and
their families. Physicians and pharmacists can find tools for
prescribing, screening and assessing patients, and patients and
their families can find tips for the safe use and handling of their
medications.

The C.A.R.E.S. Alliance was created in response to
