In 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency in response to the opioid-abuse crisis. This epidemic is an issue that affects many teenagers today across demographic categories. They've seen the damage that opioids can inflict on family and friends or may have used or abused opioids themselves. This informative title describes the effects of opioids on the body and how drug use can spiral into addiction. Teens are reassured that there are resources and coping strategies that can help them deal with the issue of opioid abuse in their lives.

      Grades 8-12 These offerings in the Coping series (6 new titles) serve as replacements for Rosen's 2017 series on helping young adults deal with various physical, mental, and societal challenges. All titles offer balanced information and supply facts, statistics, and case studies to present straightforward definitions, examples, social and cultural considerations, legalities, and potential long-term consequences of conditions left unaddressed. Threads consistent throughout the series include empathy, acceptance, and reassuring exhortations to seek help, whether for personal need or as a concerned upstander. Contact information for helplines and other resources are embedded within text passages and appear in back-matter resource lists. Opioid Abuse refers to 2021 statistics on fentanyl usage. The lack of notes or references limits these titles as research tools, but their important role in getting accurate and reaffirming information and crucial lifelines to teens in crisis cannot be denied.
