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We deliver a modern disposal service that eliminates the risks and burdens of outdated systems.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.

A white disposal bin with a lid, positioned under a sign that reads "On-site destruction of expired & leftover medications here." A display stand with informational materials about AbateMed is on top of the bin.
