Fentanyl Awareness Resources

The Milam County Sheriff's Office goes above and beyond in our mission to protect and serve the community. As part of that mission, this office is committed to protecting the health and safety of every member of our community, especially our children and families. 

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is driving a national public health emergency. Originally developed for pain management, fentanyl is now frequently found in illicit drugs-often without the user's knowledge-leading to a dramatic rise in accidental overdoses and deaths.

This page is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, how it affects individuals and communities, and what you can do to stay informed and safe. Whether you're a parent, educator, healthcare provider, or concerned citizen, understanding the risks and recognizing the signs can help save lives.
