GET SMART ABOUT FENTANYL

Abstinence is the only safe route. Even if you don’t use, your knowledge can potentially save a life.

What is Fentanyl?

There are two types of fentanyl: pharmaceutical fentanyl and illicitly-manufactures fentanyl. Both are considered synthetic opioids. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed by doctors to treat patients with acute pain, typically post-surgery or in advanced stages of cancer. Illicitly-manufactured fentanyl is linked to recent lethal and non-lethal overdoses. Fentanyl is added to other drugs because it is so potent, making drugs cheaper, more addictive, and more dangerous. Dealers often dilute batches of their product and add a bit of fentanyl so the user still gets high. This has contributed to the current overdose epidemic because of fentanyl’s small lethal dose, a lack of specific measuring when dealers add fentanyl to their substances, and the “clumping” of fentanyl within a drug (one half of a “fentapill” could be deadly, while the other could be safe").

What’s a Fentapill?

A fentapill is a counterfeit pill made to look like legitimate prescription pills like Xanax, Adderall, Percocet, or Oxycodone. Instead these pills contain illicit fentanyl and can cause death. It’s difficult to tell the difference, so it’s best to avoid any non-prescription pills altogether.
