Fentanyl – The New Killer
• Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate analgesic that can be 40
to 50 percent more potent than pharmaceutical grade
heroin.
• The number of people killed by fentanyl in Cuyahoga
County has surged 321 percent from 14 in August of
2014 to 59 in August of 2015.
• It does not discriminate by race, gender, social class,
marital status, zip code or age.
• “We are seeing more woman – white, suburban,
affluent,” says Dr. Gilson, Cuyahoga County Coroner
THE COSTS
• 8.3 million children live with a drug and/or alcohol
dependent parent
• Untreated addiction costs the American economy
over $400 billion per year in lost productivity, health
care, crime, etc.
• Untreated addiction is more expensive than heart
disease, diabetes & cancer combined
• Each American pays nearly $1,000 per year for the
damages of addiction

What is Addiction?
• Webster’s definition:
• Compulsive need for use of a habit forming
substance (as nicotine, heroin or alcohol)
characterized by tolerance and by well defined
physiological symptoms such as withdrawl:
persistent compulsive use of a substance
known by the user to be harmful.

THE EFFECT
DRUGS are a foreign substance that change the
brain.
Use becomes Want
Want becomes Need
Physically Change
Pleasure doesn’t Exist
The PAIN of not using >
The PAIN of Using
Choice is Eliminated
THERE IS ONLY CONSEQUENCE
Dopamine=Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll
• Dopamine is a chemical
neuotransmitter involved in many
different pathways particularly
motivation, addiction, attention
or lust.
• All abused drugs from alcohol to
heroin increase dopamine.
• Dopamine signals feedback for
predicted rewards – pleasurable
thoughts, levels increase and you
feel good. Denial results in
decreases in dopamine and a
terrible feeling.
