In a bold move that coincides with Fentanyl Awareness Day (August 21st, 2024) Confidential Recovery CEO Scott H. Silverman has called upon both presidential candidates to unveil a plan to tackle the fentanyl crisis in our country.
With about 400 deaths a day to accidental overdose, and overdose being the leading cause of death of people aged 18-45, this is clearly a public health epidemic, and Scott’s request brings attention to the fact that not nearly enough attention is being given to this deadly phenomenon.
Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous substances, as it is often disguised as legitimate medications such as oxycodone or Percocet, and it’s undetectable by sight, smell or taste. A mere two milligrams of fentanyl is enough to be lethal, underscoring the urgent need for awareness and action in every community and household.
“All families across the country must understand that they are not immune to the dangers posed by substances like fentanyl,” said Silverman. “They need to join me in demanding our leadership to share their plan and to promise to act swiftly once they are in the White House to stop this crisis from continuing to spiral out of control.”

Every family must be aware that #OnePillCanKill and they should #ExpectFentanyl, so no one should ever take a drug that is not given to them from a licensed pharmacist.
If you are facing a situation with a loved one, spouse, or even a child that has started to spiral, please call me at 619-993-2738.
Scott is the Founder and CEO of Confidential Recovery, an outpatient drug rehab in San Diego.
