Modernizing Disposal. Protecting Communities.
Traditional pharmaceutical reverse distribution creates unnecessary risk and cost for long-term care facilities:
Mountains of paperwork and delayed destruction
Lost accountability and diversion opportunities before incineration
High costs tied to bulk shipping and disposal
Dirty incineration that harms the environment
The result? More strain on facilities, and more narcotics ending up on the street, fueling the opioid crisis.
AbateMed changes that.
We deliver a modern disposal service that eliminates the risks and burdens of outdated systems. Our approach:
Immediate Deactivation – medications are rendered inert, non-divertible, and non-retrievable as soon as they enter our monitored receptacles
Regulatory Alignment – validated through DEA-certified and EPA-recognized labs, so you can demonstrate compliance during audits without extra paperwork
Environmental Protection – safe for landfill disposal, eliminating the need for costly, dirty incineration
Reduced Staff Burden – your team focuses on resident care while we manage disposal behind the scenes
Proven Safe and Effective
Independent lab studies confirm that our system deactivates over 99% of active pharmaceutical ingredients within 24 hours, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and even Schedule II drugs. Once deactivated, medications cannot be retrieved by any means available to the public.
