As the leader in healthcare waste management, Stericycle can help you reduce the risk of diversion with our controlled substance waste program: CsRx™.
Disposing of controlled substances needs to be done safely to reduce your risk as a business. Our extensive expertise offers regulatory compliance solutions that help you comply with local, state, and federal regulations as well as industry guidance and professional association standards. Stericycle offers several programs to help prevent diversion of controlled substances, depending on your business or needs:
Controlled Substance Waste Disposal for Hospitals, Medical Practices and Non-Acute Care Facilities: for facilities with doctors, nurses, physicians, medical technicians, pharmacists, and others in the healthcare field.
Seal&Send: envelopes to provide your patients the ability to safely and easily dispose of their unused medication.
Medication disposal kiosks: for end user take back at retail pharmacies, long term care facilities and more.
Disposing of controlled substance waste can be problematic for both consumers and the healthcare industry. It must be performed in a manner that both prevents diversion of controlled substances and also meets DEA regulations. The DEA regulations can be confusing and, if controlled substances disposal is not handled correctly, the risk of fines and other DEA corrective action can come into play. Stericycle has safe and secure methods for retail pharmacies and hospitals to securely dispose of controlled substance waste in a compliant manner. It is well documented that misuse of controlled substances by patients and healthcare workers has led to a greater awareness of how these substances can be diverted. That is why choosing a method for disposal that is both DEA compliant and also prevents diversion is paramount.
