Heightened Threat: Fentanyl Mixed with Emerging Synthetic Drugs
The United States continues to face an unprecedented and evolving drug threat driven by illicit fentanyl, which is increasingly mixed with a dangerous array of synthetic substances emerging in the illicit market. These combinations are making an already deadly drug supply even more unpredictable and lethal.

Law enforcement and public health officials are seeing fentanyl combined with highly potent substances such as xylazine, nitazenes, cychlorphine, and medetomidine. Many of these substances are not approved for human use and are often undetectable to the user.

This week, we join communities across the country in recognizing National Prevention Week, a time to highlight the importance of substance use prevention and mental health promotion.

At the Prevention Council of Putnam, we take on many roles, but our top priority is clear: delaying the onset of substance use and preventing it from progressing.

Why does this matter? Research shows that the later someone begins using alcohol or drugs, the less likely they are to develop a substance use disorder, and the more likely they are to experience positive health outcomes throughout their lifespan.

National Prevention Week is not only a time to celebrate the impact of prevention, it’s also an opportunity to recognize the vital work of prevention providers, programs, and services, and to advocate for the continued support and expansion of these efforts in our community.

Thank you to our community for supporting prevention. We invite you to join us in building a healthier, more resilient Putnam County.
