Such is the nature of opioid drugs that drug dependence can occur despite use as prescribed over prolonged use. Overdose of opioid pain relievers can be fatal. Furthermore, according to National Institute of Drug Abuse, there has been significant increase in deaths related to drug overdose, which involved the prescription opioid pain relievers and various federal and state laws have been applied to curb this epidemic.

The main objective of the strategy is to increase awareness among the populace and across the value chain about consequences of prescription drug abuse and the requirement of appropriate prescribing, disposal and dispensing for effective prescription drug monitoring programs and also to enable exact medication disposal through prescription take-back initiatives.
