What a refreshing use of a smart device! It is about time these young adults use it for something besides snapchat and instagram.
These young adults should know that in as little as 3 days, they could be headed down a path towards addiction. Opioids don't discriminate, and fact is, if you are gentically predisposed for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), you are hundreds of times more likely to not be able to escape the grip that opioids put on your brain.

Many young adults take what the doctor told them to take (the legal prescription) after dental surgery or a sports injury. Unfortunately, this could be the start of a years long battle that doesnt always end well. Be safe, KNOW YOUR RISK! STOP ADDICTION BEFORE IT STARTS.
