Fast Facts:

• Opioids affect your brain – they affect areas of the brain that control pain and emotion, making it hard to feel pleasure from anything besides the drug.

• Opioids affect your body - they slow down the actions of the body, such as breathing and heartbeat

• Opioids can kill you - Even a single dose of an opioid can cause your breathing to slow or stop; taking opioids with alcohol or sedatives increases this risk.

• Opioids are highly addictive. - People who regularly use opioids often develop tolerance, which means that they need higher and/or more frequent doses of the drug to get the desired effects.

• Opioid addiction is treatable – Please contact your family physician or your school site counselor for help.
