Filed by the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office

The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office encourages seniors and older adults to proactively learn about Fentanyl, the threat it poses, and how to have conversations with adult children and grandchildren. Fentanyl has become a growing problem in society, and it is crucial that older generations understand its risks and know how to discuss it openly with their loved ones.

The Sheriff’s Office uses information from organizations dedicated to the well-being of seniors, such as ECDOL.org – Excellent Care, Decency, & Optimal Living. Their ‘Senior’s Guide to Fentanyl’ provides clear explanations, practical advice and thoughtful insights on this sensitive topic.
