Tackling Fentanyl and Meth: A Complex Battle

Illicit fentanyl is really hard, because you can't just say: well, we're going to take away license of the illicit lab. That's making it.
When it comes to the rising tide of drug overdose deaths among older adults, the culprit is often fentanyl-laced prescription lookalikes. In this episode of 'Alcohol And Drug Abuse – Johns Hopkins Medicine Podcasts', Elizabeth Tracey sheds light on this alarming trend. Eric Strain, a leading expert in substance use disorders at Johns Hopkins, dives into the intricate challenges of curbing the illegal production and distribution of fentanyl and methamphetamine.
These drugs, now often produced in local industrial parks rather than through international trade, pose significant hurdles for authorities. Strain highlights the need for a multifaceted strategy that includes government action and policy changes to effectively combat drug abuse. This episode offers a raw look at the modern complexities of fighting drug abuse, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the current landscape of substance use disorders.
