DEA News:
National Fentanyl Awareness Day, Wednesday, April 29, is a reminder of the dangers of fentanyl and the need to prevent drug misuse. Even one counterfeit pill can contain a potentially deadly dose. Understanding fentanyl risks and having open conversations can help people you care about make safer choices.
Through the Fentanyl Free America initiative, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) encourages individuals, families, and communities to learn the dangers of fentanyl, share trusted resources, and promote prevention nationwide.
Fentanyl Free America highlights prevention tools and resources designed to support education and action, including:
- Information and materials from Operation Prevention to support conversations at home and in schools
- Resources to help share accurate, DEA-approved safety information
- Opportunities to participate in Prescription Drug Take Back Day and other prevention activities
Taking simple preventive steps can make a real difference. We can help protect our communities and move toward a safer, fentanyl-free America.
