Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.
Fentanyl is often present without someone’s knowledge, increasing the risk of overdose in ways many don’t expect.
While overdose deaths are down from record highs, too many lives, especially young people, are still at risk from fake prescription pills made with fentanyl.
Behind every statistic is a person, a story, and the possibility of recovery.
At Endeavor Health Services, we support the people we serve through compassionate, person-centered care. Our substance use services include medication assisted treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and specialized support for adults and adolescents.
Taking action can save lives. Learn the signs of an overdose, carry naloxone, and have open, judgment-free conversations.
Naloxone is available over the counter and can reverse a fentanyl overdose. Learn where to get it and how to use it at fentanylawarenessday.org.
