Fentanyl Mixes Threaten New Mexico

New Mexico’s overdose crisis is escalating, especially in Otero County, where a deadly surge of fentanyl-laced tranquilizers is leaving Narcan powerless—and lives at risk. As powdered fentanyl masquerades as meth or cocaine, unsuspecting users face fatal consequences. Health officials are ramping up outreach, expanding access to NM Pathways for treatment, and offering free Narcan by mail. Families are urged to support loved ones through recovery—and if you need help, call the nurse helpline at 1-833-796-8773. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
