The FBI, in partnership with the DEA, created a short documentary focusing on the crisis of prescription drug and opioid abuse. The film, Chasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict outlines the dangerous cycle of opioid and prescription drug abuse—how the problem starts, how the addiction takes hold, and how that addiction damages one’s life and body. Middle and high school students and all ages above are the target audience for this video and the curriculum/facilitated discussion that accompanies it.
FBINewarkCAAA along with FBI Newark Division, Bergen Performing Arts Center, and Lakeland Bank collaborated to present a virtual and in person program for schools to educate students on the dangerous cycle of opioid and prescription drug abuse.
