Key Points
Fentanyl is Deadly — Even in Small Amounts
Just two milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal. It's often mixed into other drugs without the user’s knowledge, making every use potentially deadly.
Fake Pills Are Everywhere
Counterfeit pills made to look like prescription medications often contain fentanyl. If it's not from a pharmacy, it could kill you.
You’re Not Alone — Help Is Available
Whether you're struggling with substance use or know someone who is, local resources, treatment options, and support networks are here for you.
It’s Not Just a Big City Problem — It’s Here in Our Community
Fentanyl-related overdoses are happening across Imperial County. No neighborhood, school, or family is immune.
Talk Early. Talk Often.
Parents, teachers, and community leaders can save lives by having open, honest conversations with youth about the risks of fentanyl and other drugs.
