"One Pill Can Kill" Campaign Week Four: Overcoming Addiction and Resources to Combat Fentanyl (Photo) - 08/02/21

As we conclude the "One Pill Can Kill" campaign, the Sheriff's Office features personal testimony from someone who has fought addiction, a School Resource Officer's (SRO) insight related to Fentanyl and youth, and what we as a community can do to help address issues surrounding Fentanyl. 

First, we hear from Crystal Long, who shares her experience of using drugs, such as Fentanyl, and overcoming addiction, including what advice she has for those facing similar struggles. 

Next, one of our SROs shares concerns about students getting a hold of illicit drugs and how they are working with school staff to better understand the dangers of Fentanyl. 

Combatting this growing Fentanyl threat requires community awareness and engagement at every level. A commitment we can each make is to check in with our loved ones and with one another.

  • First, make sure that youth know not to take any prescription medication that has not been prescribed to them.
  • If you have concerns about a loved one's drug use, talk with them – share your concerns.
  • While these topics aren't always easy, one conversation could save someone's life.

Below are some additional resources that can offer further support:

The Sheriff's Office would like to thank all of our community partners who have helped contribute to this campaign.
