The DEA and Discovery Education have joined forces to combat a growing epidemic of prescription opioid misuse and heroin use nationwide. Operation Prevention's mission is to educate students about the impacts of opioids and to kick-start lifesaving conversations in the home and classroom. The comprehensive, no-cost, science-based program for young people, ages 8–18, to combat opioid misuse is available today in every school, home, and state in the nation.
