A near average of 295 people die from opioids every day. Ages 18 to 25 are the most affected. Overall, opioids make up of about 66% of drug overdoses in the U.S.

Because fentanyl is the most deadly leading drug to the opioid crisis, it is often mixed with heroin, cocaine, and other illicit drugs like methamphetamine. Fentanyl cannot be easily seen or smelled, and it lacks any taste to the unsuspecting victim, making it extremely dangerous.

During an opioid overdose, the body's heart, brain, lungs, and blood flow is decreased, ultimately leading to death. This process takes 1 to 3 hours if left untreated.
