Fentanyl's Lethal Grip
“Fentanyl is everywhere – from large metropolitan areas to rural America; no community is safe from this poison. We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent Fentanyl-related overdose deaths and poisonings from claiming scores of American lives every day.”
– Anne Milgram
DEA Administrator
Promoting NARCAN®‘s availability reduces the stigma associated with opioid use and addiction. It acknowledges that addiction is a medical condition rather than a moral failing and emphasizes the importance of preserving life above all else.
By empowering individuals to administer NARCAN®, we empower them to take action and potentially save a life, promoting a sense of compassion, empathy, and community engagement. The accessibility of NARCAN® not only serves as a life-saving measure but also encourages a more open and supportive approach to addressing the underlying challenges of addiction.
