Hope & Healing: Exposing The Fentanyl Crisis Town Hall
Special thanks to the Eunice Joyce Gardiner Foundation for their generous philanthropy.
Description
Fentanyl, an FDA-approved synthetic opioid, is known officially as Florida’s most lethal drug. It kills thousands of people of all races and demographics. Counterfeit prescriptions of Adderall, Xanax, and other prescription drugs are laced with potentially fatal doses of fentanyl and many victims don’t even know they’re taking it. Hope & Healing: Exposing the Fentanyl Crisis Town Hall examines the role Fentanyl plays in illicit drug use, the importance of getting prescription drugs only from a pharmacy, and the hope that comes from addiction recovery.
