The goal is to give people a safe way to get rid of drugs -- and keep them out of reach of people who might become addicted to them. Google said 53 percent of prescription drug abuse situations start with drugs from family and friends.

Previously, Google Maps showed drop-off locations for National Prescription Take Back Day, but now it's showing them -- along with hours and other information -- all year long. Google worked with Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania authorities to get accurate information on the app and is hoping to add more states to the search results.

Google says searches about opioids are on the rise and last month the specific search "medication disposal near me” reached an all-time high.
