Recovering our world by preventing more overdoses one story at a time! Virtual presentations available upon request

10/30/2026

is tomorrow! While we hope the night is full of spooky fun, one thing parents should not be afraid of is their kids being given methamphetamine tablets instead of candy. While these tablets can appear like friendly cartoon characters or fun, colorful shapes, they can actually carry a hidden danger.

Checking your child's candy to make sure treats are branded and untampered with can help prevent accidental exposure to anything harmful.

More tips and information can be found in the accompanying image.

We hope you have a safe, scary, and happy Halloween!

Through generous assistance such as this, Alumni In Recovery can continue to give local people a platform to share their stories with youth in schools, preventing them from falling down the path of addiction. Through these presentations, we can continue to reach our mission goals of substance use prevention, overdose prevention, and educating youth about the naloxone's ability to save lives.
