Facing the Fentanyl Crisis.

Today is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. It is dedicated to uniting families, first responders, prevention advocates, educators, elected officials, and communities in every state to honor those we’ve lost, and take action to protect others.

A significant number of teens and young adults get drugs from friends, family or leftover prescriptions. The influx of illicit fentanyl increases the danger of death due to overdose.

Organized crime groups have shifted from he**in to counterfeit pills that look legitimate but can be deadly. Some known drugs like ecstasy, sedatives or stimulants have been laced with illicit fentanyl to make them more addictive. Online black markets are sometimes used to access drugs making it harder for parents and law enforcement to intervene.

The earlier someone uses drugs the higher the chance of a long-term addiction and death. The pressures of academics, competitive sports, social media and life stressor have led teens and young adults to misuse prescriptions or seek illicit drugs to cope with pain, anxiety, depression and trauma.

What You Can Do

Unfortunately, the widespread nature of this crisis almost guarantees that most of us have been impacted either directly or indirectly. We need to educate and equip ourselves in order to fight this crisis. We need to make sure our medications at home are locked up and secure. Any unused or expired medications should be disposed of safely at drop-off locations like your local pharmacies. Talk to children and loved ones about the risks of misuse. Enroll in a CPR class. Add Naloxone to your first aid kits and learn how to use it. Pre-program emergency numbers and sites into your smart phone, for example setting ‘crisis’ as the contact then adding to your favorites. Support local prevention and recovery programs.

Together we can make a significant impact!

A big thank you to Westmoreland County law enforcement officers for this bust. A job well done by these fine men and women who on a daily risks their lives to save our children. Fentanyl continues to fuel the opioid crisis in the Commonwealth and nationwide, and dealers use fi****ms to protect their lucrative trade.
