Teenage RX

This video is about opioid overdose prevention for teens. We recommend watching this emotional video with loved ones.
There is a common misconception among teens that misuse of prescription drugs is generally safe because the medications were prescribed by a physician. However, the reality is that misuse of these medications can result in fatal overdose and can lead to a lifetime of substance use disorder that has enormous impact on family and community. Education is key to preventing these avoidable outcomes and students at Foothill High in Pleasanton, CA aim to prevent devastating prescription drug related outcomes through this short educational drama sponsored by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department with support from Axis Health (www.axishealth.org) and NCAPDA (www.ncapda.org).
