Did you know that illicit fentanyl has been found in fake prescription pills in all 50 states? The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) laboratory testing indicates 5 out of 10 pills tested in 2024 contained a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl. Because of this, it is never safe to take a pill that was not given to you by your doctor or bought over the counter. Even if it looks like a real prescription pill, there is a 50% chance that it could be laced with a lethal amount of fentanyl.

If your son is struggling with addiction, Lakeside Academy is here to help. Give us a call at 612-504-7047 or visit the link below.
