NARCONON                 NEW LIFE RETREAT

Fentanyl has been making headlines recently, because it has been contributing to the increase in overdose deaths across America. Most people don’t know much about the chemical. For instance, one of the things that makes fentanyl so dangerous is that it can be absorbed into the system through skin contact. Getting it on your skin could cause a potentially fatal overdose.
