The US Fentanyl Crisis | How to Protect Your Children | DTH Pocast

The massive immigration crisis at our southern boarder here in the US and the fentanyl crisis are are directly connected. China and Mexico are the primary source countries for fentanyl production that is trafficked directly into the US by Mexican cartels with most of the fentenayl coming through points of entry.

Researchers found over 110 thousand people died from drug overdose in a single 12-month period which is over 300 people a day.
Today on DTH we are going to discuss what we can do to protect our children from this deadly drug. And we are also going to talk about substance abuse statistics post pandemic and how the pandemic affected our children.

My guest joining me today for the second time is Richard Capriola, he was a mental health crisis and addictions counselor for over two decades at the Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas.

It is one of the top ten psychiatric hospitals in the US that specializes in the assessment, stabilization and treatment of adults and adolescents with substance abuse and psychiatric disorders.

He is also author of “The Addicted Child: A Parents Guide To Adolescent Substance Abuse”” which is an absolute must have resource and roadmap for any parent navigating through substance abuse with an adolescent.
