2025 Chester County Opioid Summit

09/24/2025

Myths fuel stigma - facts save lives!

❌ Myth - Prescription opioids are always safe because they come from a doctor.
✅ Fact - Even when prescribed, opioids carry a high risk of dependence, misuse, and overdose. Safe use requires strict adherence to medical guidance.

❌ Myth - You can't overdose on prescription drugs.
✅ Fact - Misusing prescription opioids, especially by taking high doses or combining them with other substances, significantly increases the risk of a fatal overdose. Counterfeit pills containing deadly doses of fentanyl are also a major threat.

❌ Myth - Drug addiction only affects certain groups of people, such as those with low income.
✅ Fact - Opioid use disorder impacts people of all ages, backgrounds, and communities. It is a widespread public health issue.

❌ Myth - Taking medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), such as methadone or buprenorphine, is just substituting one addiction for another.
✅ Fact - These medications are evidence-based treatments that reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal, and help people regain stability in their lives and engage in treatment. Research shows that patients on MOUD have lower rates of return to use and overdose.

🚫 Medicines Aren’t Always Safe in Small Hands

Each year, 35,000 young children end up in the ER after getting into medicines or supplements left within their reach.

👀 Look closely at these situations—do you see the dangers?

🚫 Medicine bottles left by the bedside.
🚫 Pills stored in cabinets within a child’s reach.

✅ Prevention is simple:

‼️Store medicines up, away, and out of sight.
‼️Never leave medicine on counters, nightstands, or in purses.
‼️Talk to your kids about medicine safety.
‼️Protect your family.

Hello All!! We are 8 days away from our 4th Annual Color Run/Walk Event! See the details below!

2025 Color Run/Walk

Saturday, September 27th, 2025! From 10 am to 2 pm!
A Color Run is a 3-kilometer or 5K event, which is untimed, where participants are doused in different colors at each kilometer.
This run/walk caters to everyone — from first-time runners and walkers to seasoned athletes.

This is a unique event that celebrates healthiness and happiness, and Chester County’s event also celebrates a community being created that is free of the dangers of substance misuse.

The Color Run/Walk will focus on our youth and families in the surrounding area and the Tri-County. Our Color Run/Walk aims to bring attention to issues threatening our community, including underage drinking, the opioid crisis, va**ng, and ma*****na use.

The event will be filled with color blast stations throughout the track, and once we have completed all non-competitive races, we will have a Color Party where participants will join in for a “Finish Festival” with music, dancing, and color throws around the stage.

We will also have a shorter distance race for the children with color powder blasts.

There will be bouncy houses, a game truck, games, food vendors, a DJ, and so much more!

This FREE event is for ALL ages!

Don't forget to wear white! T-shirts will be provided for participants who register in advance! (Please make sure you enter your T-shirt size while registering for the event through our Eventbrite registration link.)

**The 1st 30 participants will receive a free plate from one of the food vendors! After those 30 participants, a payment will be required from the food vendors!**
