The Drug Enforcement Administration found fentanyl-laced substances more than 8,600 times in one six-month period alone. The problem is truly becoming epidemic: 28,400 people died of synthetic opioid overdoses in 2017. At APLA Health, we are very aware of this problem and are responding by offering free testing strips that you can use to determine if fentanyl is present in any substances you might be using.
We can provide you with testing kits and additional information on fentanyl.
