The Reality

We are experiencing an insidious attack on young people in the United States. Fentanyl and other opioids are the leading cause of death for the ages 18 to 25, killing 175 young Americans every day – one every 8 minutes.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death between the ages of 10 to 24 years old. Suicide kills 125 young Americans every day – one every 11 minutes.

The ones who survive substance abuse and mental health crises often live with chronic illnesses, compromising their well-being forever. Add to that the families of those lost and devastated following such a tragedy.

A Generation at Risk

DCF focuses on Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012. Zoomers, ranging from middle school students to early professionals, report higher rates of anxiety and depression, more than any other age group, according to U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

The decline in mental health predisposes this age group to riskier behaviors, like substance abuse, especially pharmaceutical pills. Teenagers and young adults believe that prescription drugs are safer than “street drugs” for various reasons, including that “these are medicines.” So, the initiation often starts with their doctors and dentists.

Substance abuse of prescription pills leads to sourcing drugs from black-market suppliers when prescribed medications run out. For example, according to the DEA, most deaths from fentanyl involve an intention of buying a prescription pill such as Xanax, Adderall, or Percocet.

Avoiding unnecessary prescription pills represents a fundamental first step to preventing deaths by fentanyl poisoning.
