There is little understanding of the power of the substance fentanyl. Let's start with some inconvenient facts. Drug overdoses claim more lives than does breast cancer, gun violence, or car accidents combined.
Ever thought about how a tiny amount of a substance could wreak so much havoc? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' tackles the grim reality of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that’s causing a surge in overdose deaths. The host doesn’t shy away from hard truths, starting with the staggering statistics: drug overdoses now claim more lives than breast cancer, gun violence, or car accidents combined.
With over 109,000 fatal overdoses reported in just one year, it’s clear that fentanyl’s low cost and high potency are fueling a deadly epidemic. What’s more alarming is how this powerful drug finds its way into almost every illegal substance, often without the user’s knowledge. Whether snorted, injected, or smoked, fentanyl's presence in drugs like meth, cocaine, and heroin means that even a slight miscalculation can lead to an overdose.
The episode also sheds light on the often-overlooked deaths related to alcohol abuse and the significant barriers to accessing proper care for addiction. By addressing the stigma and criminalization surrounding addiction, the host calls for a shift towards evidence-based treatment solutions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the urgent need for comprehensive addiction care and the real-life impact of fentanyl on individuals and families.
