Reliable and simple service solutions for drug disposal
With safety at the forefront of its solutions, healthcare facilities are choosing Daniels for customer-focused and cost-effective denaturing and disposal of Controlled Substances.
Why Controlled Substance Disposal
In healthcare facilities, the management and handling of controlled substances are governed by strict regulations set forth by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the United States. These substances are categorized into schedules based on their potential for abuse, medical use, and safety. Regardless of their categorization, all DEA-scheduled drugs require specialized containment that complies with the disposal requirements of controlled substance waste streams. Healthcare facilities must comply with these regulations to ensure safe and secure storage, distribution, and ultimately the disposal of controlled substances. Compliance with DEA regulations regarding controlled substances is essential for hospitals and healthcare facilities to ensure patient safety, prevent diversion and misuse, and maintain legal and regulatory compliance.

Rx Destroyer
Rx Destroyer is an integrated part of Daniels Health’s controlled substance disposal offering. Its ready-to-use, activated carbon-based formulas support the witnessed wasting of partial-dose, unused and unwanted medications across healthcare settings. Rx Destroyer begins dissolving medications on contact, while activated carbon adsorbs and neutralizes active ingredients. Adsorption and non-retrievability time can vary by medication type, quantity and other conditions.
Secure a Drug
Daniels Secure a Drug drug-deactivation products enable the easy and permanent removal of potential threats associated with medication handling, reducing risk to those most vulnerable. Formulated with activated carbon, Secure a Drug products provide a science-proven method of safely deactivating drugs prior to final disposal. According to the DEA, any destruction method applied to a controlled substance must render it “non-retrievable” and no longer available for diversion for all practical purposes. Secure a Drug products provide a safe intervention for the harmful wasting of drugs into our waterways, while providing an easy method for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists to securely dispose of drugs within the healthcare setting.
