💊 The Silent Danger of Fentanyl 💊
In recent years, fentanyl has become one of the greatest threats to our communities. This synthetic opioid, 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, has caused an alarming rise in overdoses. As part of Rhonita Vive’s mission, we are launching a protection and awareness campaign to prevent further tragedies caused by this deadly drug.
What is Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is used medically to treat severe pain, but it has been exploited by traffickers and mixed into other drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and counterfeit pills without users’ knowledge. This combination greatly increases the risk of overdose, even with minimal amounts.
How Can We Prevent It?
Education: The key to fighting fentanyl is spreading information. Talk to your children, friends, and family about the dangers of using illicit drugs, as they may unknowingly contain fentanyl.Avoid Non-Prescribed Drugs: The risk of encountering fentanyl in street-sold drugs is extremely high. Avoid using any medications that haven’t been prescribed by a healthcare professional.Distribute Naloxone Kits: This medication can reverse an opioid overdose if used in time. In many areas, naloxone kits are free or low-cost and can save lives.
