#Fentanyl, a potent drug, is often disguised in fake pills mimicking OxyContin, Percocet, & Xanax. Despite its medical uses, it's odorless, tasteless, & hard to detect, posing a grave risk to unsuspecting users. #FentanylAwarenessDay #OnePillCanKill

“The primitive limbic system seeks drugs at any price, and the rational, caring, empathetic prefrontal cortex is silenced.”
The addicted person’s most basic need—to survive—drives the need for mood or mind-altering substances at any price. #addictionprevention #medicationsafety
