Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. We would like to take this time as a reminder of the knowledge that keeps our friends, neighbors, and families safe.

Fentanyl is often hidden where we least expect it, in counterfeit pills made to look like legitimate prescriptions. You can't see it or smell it, but you can talk about it. Starting a conversation about the risks is one of the most effective ways to prevent a tragedy.

Remember, knowledge is the first line of defense:
✅ Stay Informed
✅ Stay Prepared

At ALPHA, we want to make sure you have everything you need to protect your loved ones. Fentanyl & Xylazine test strips and Narcan Nasal Spray are available for pickup at all of our locations.

📍 Pickup available at:

Camden - 208 King Street, Camden, SC 29020

Chesterfield - 120 Commons Drive, Chesterfield, SC 29709

Bishopville - 108 East Church Street, Bishopville, SC 29010

Spreading awareness today can lead to a safer tomorrow.

Last week, our Lee County Opioid Abatement Director LeAnna Adams, Opioid Prevention Specialist Roz, and Intern Abby attended the "Week of the Young Child" event hosted by Lee County First Steps.

They enjoyed the opportunity to speak with parents about the importance of proper medication disposal and the necessity of locking up prescriptions to keep them out of little one's reach.

We would like to show our appreciation to Lee County First Steps for inviting us to help spread this vital awareness.
