Mrs. Lewis-Odom and Mr. Bodick of the Drug Demand Reduction Program coordinated between the Drug Enforcement Agency, Enid Police, Vance Security Forces and local media for the first National Prescription Take Back Day. Unused medication was turned in to be properly disposed, which avoided potential health hazards in homes as well as the environment. Their efforts reached a population of more than 220,000 with 2 drop off locations in the Enid area, which resulted in 287 pounds of unused/expired medication removed from the streets.
