San Bernardino County is trying to raise awareness about fentanyl addiction.
The Department of Behavioral Health has started a campaign, “Fentanyl Doesn’t Care. But We Do,” in response to a recent rise in overdoses and poisonings associated with the drug, according to a statement on the county’s website.
The department has joined Stop the Void and the INTO LIGHT Project to develop a media campaign that will target parts of the county with a high rate of fentanyl overdoses.
Young adults and at-risk underserved communities will be emphasized.
“There is a misperception that fentanyl only affects drug addicts when in reality, it’s affecting a broad segment of our community,” said Supervisor Dawn Rowe in the statement. “This campaign will help shed light on the reality of the fentanyl crisis and help us save lives.”
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin, according to the statement.
