CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, US, April 25, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Foundation for a Drug-Free World (FDFW) offers a free 23-page small information booklet called “The Truth About Painkillers” and a DVD of real people telling their experiences.

“It is so important to educate our community on the dangers of abusing painkillers,” said Julieta Santagostino the President of FDFW Florida Chapter. “People are dying everyday from this epidemic. It’s real. If we can save even just one life through education it makes all our efforts worth it.”

The Truth About Painkillers information booklet goes over the short term and long term effects of the drug. It also includes information on the history of painkillers, the different names and why they are so addictive.

The Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a non-profit organization that educates youth and the community on the truth about drugs so they can make the right decision to live drug-free. The Church of Scientology is a sponsor of the program making it possible for the Foundation to provide educational materials at no cost to educators, law enforcement and the community.
