HC DrugFree is pleased to share a new educational flyer from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), developed in partnership with CADCA: “Fentanyl: What You Need to Know.” This simple, easy-to-read resource highlights the urgent dangers of fentanyl and provides families and communities with facts that can save lives.
Why This Matters
- –Fentanyl is extremely potent: About 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine.
- –Hidden risk: It’s often mixed into pills, powders, or other drugs without people knowing.
- –Overdose can happen quickly: Just a tiny amount of only a few grains can be fatal.
The flyer is designed to help parents, teens, educators, and community members better understand fentanyl and take steps to protect themselves and others.
At HC DrugFree, we also remind families that prevention starts at home. Along with learning about fentanyl’s risks, practicing safe storage of all medications and disposing of unused medicines properly are critical steps to keep youth and communities safe.
This flyer is an excellent tool for sparking conversations and raising awareness. Together, we can continue working toward a safer, healthier community.
