The New Look of Opioids: Knowing what to look for is the first step in protecting our community. 📊✨

The next potential phase of the opioid crisis may be defined by the emergence of 7-OH, often combined with an increasing prevalence of concurrent use of other controlled substances. Disturbingly, these products have gone mainstream—they are sold without a prescription at gas stations and v**e shops all over America.

Why you need to be aware:

🟢 Engineered for Addiction: 7-OH (7-Hydroxymitragynine) is a powerful psychoactive compound specifically engineered to be addictive.

🟢 Dangerous Marketing: 7-OH products are often designed to look like everyday treats like gummies, candies, and even ice cream.

🟢 Naturally Occurring: While dangerous in these concentrated forms, 7-OH occurs naturally in very small amounts in the Kratom plant.

At The Forrester Center, we believe that education is prevention. Swipe through to see examples of what these products look like and how the landscape of the opioid epidemic is shifting.

🚑 Governor Henry McMaster has officially proclaimed January 23, 2026, as Naloxone Awareness Day in South Carolina. At The Forrester Center for Behavioral Health, we want to ensure every member of our community knows that Naloxone (Narcan®) is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and save a life.

💡 What you need to know: It's accessible: Naloxone is available in South Carolina without a prescription. It's effective: It works within minutes to restore normal breathing. It's safe: It presents no harm to individuals who are not experiencing an opioid overdose.

We encourage all South Carolinians to learn how to recognize the signs of an overdose and consider keeping Naloxone on hand to help save lives.

Let’s work together to strengthen community readiness and reduce overdose deaths in our state.
