Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin\u00ae), hydrocodone (Vicodin\u00ae), codeine, morphine, and many others (DrugAbuse.Gov).<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#154071″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Drug overdose deaths and opioid-involved deaths continue to increase in the United States.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of deadly overdoses has more than doubled in the last decade.

But teens are not just taking more opioids than before, they are also mixing them with other substances. Data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that seven out of ten teens who use opioids misuse them alongside other drugs and alcohol, significantly increasing their chances of overdosing (Operation Prevention Parent Toolkit).<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.pccsu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/opioid-related-deaths-age-10-17.png” show_in_lightbox=”on” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”||25px|” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”How to Talk to Your Teen About Opioids” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|54px|0px|false|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”How to Talk to Your Teen About Opioids” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#154071″ header_2_font_size=”50px” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#154071″ max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As a parent do you often find yourself wanting to have a discussion with your child about this important issue but aren\u2019t quite sure where to start?

Pay attention if your child requests an early refill after \u201closing\u201d the bottle or \u201cdropping\u201d the pills in the sink. Teens who hang around with others who are known to use drugs might also be at increased risk, as might teens from families where drug abuse or misuse is present. An important predictor of risk is parental supervision and the strength of child-parent bonds.
