FENTANYL POISONING: Brooke Treanor's Story

A story of one family's loss to fentanyl poisoning, recorded during the DEA Family Summit on Opioid Overdose and Fentanyl Poisoning.

Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

Unfortunately, I lived this mothers story. September 25, 2017 was the worst day of my life when I found my 25 year old in his bed. My prayers go out to this mother. I know the pain.

As a mom, it hurts to hear "that's where we failed her" because you did everything right. Heartbreaking, truly. Thank you for sharing your story and helping others. Praying for you. Jesus is the only answer. A foundation of faith, it's what has gotten me through some very dark times

As an addict, which has been clean for over 2 years, you have NO fault in this, none at all... she had to want help. There's nothing you can do as a parent to stop her, until she's ready.... it's a rough life, trust and no one wants to be an addict

Edit: Please people, if you have nothing nice to say, please stay off this post. Not everyone is like you, and addiction is a disease... I'm sick of some of you treating it otherwise

Mom, you are a hero. You did everything for your child. And memorializing your daughter by doing this, it’s going to help a lot of people.

You didn't fail her. So many things failed her, and fail people every single day, but you didn't fail her. You supported her and loved her from her first day on earth until her last day on earth, and she knew that.

As a recovering amphetamine addict this video hurts so much, so many times during my addiction I wanted to die just to end it. 14 months sober and every day is hard. But I would never go back. I'm so sorry Brooke I know your pain. And I know how it feels. Rest easy, fly high, we will miss you, one day everyone will be together again in the sky.

Of there's anyone in addiction, you can do it it takes 1 step at a time, 1 breath at a time. And remember, you are worth it.

My daughter (40 yo) overdosed on fentanyl but a friend administered Narcan so she’s still with us. 🙏🏻 Prayers for this family.

[robinmccoy]

I love this lady! She's open, raw, honest, gentle about the truth of fentanyl. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine.

[denisekay]

Do not blame yourself. My daughter went to an after care home. It was during the Covid lockdowns so they stopped drug testing. Drugs came in and my daughter was worse off than before and is now addicted to fentanyl. I pray for her everyday.
Prayers for your family. ❤

My 32 year old beautiful daughter beat a long term battle with opiates, cold turkey, didn't want Subs. She's still in recovery after 1. 5 years! She has her life back and is doing amazing. This year was the 1st time that she was with extended family for Christmas. We thank God. I support you all in getting the help you need. I attended a Christian based recovery group called Celebrate Recovery for about a year to learn about my part in enabling addiction and took other classes to learn about setting healthy boundaries and loving her through the struggles. Dont sit back and watch your loved one destroy themselves, be involved in loving them where they are at. ❤ You can do this.

My little sister died of a fentanyl overdose last week. Yes I’m in Australia and didn’t realise it had made its way to the shores of this great country. She was found in her car up in the mountains at a lookout. I’m gonna miss you sis. Love you forever ❤

[cristrevino]

Wow, I’m in tears watching this. I’m in the same boat, it started from cancer, and 10 years later I’m still fighting this opiate addiction…. Thank god I’ve never turned to heroin, but man it’s hard. This has really helped me. Thank you for sharing your story, may your princess rest in peace! ❤❤❤ and stay strong! Prayers for you and your family…

[michellegriffin]

This is a profoundly moving series, each story is heartbreaking. RIP Brooke.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The obit gave me chills. She sounds like she lived an adventurous life on her terms, and i have much respect for that. Addiction is so ugly. 😢

Amen! At the age of 35 I was snared by the devil into a crack addiction that saw me ride a black horse and forget my name. 3 years later As I entered a rehab (on the very day that 33 years before my dad had took his life) as I entered I WAS DIPPED IN A LIVING WATER! The feeling you get when half under water and half out seeing out of my eyes I could see waves..as soon as my 2nd foot entered the building I was healed of all addictions, and urgently felt as though my friend needed help. I had no recollection of a crack addiction, nor memories as they too were wiped white as snow…no withdraw, no dreams, no sorrow! Healed in an instant. By the time my stay was over I was teaching board of prisoners how to color, and I also was leading a small Bible study. I spent 40 days and nights in that place just as Jesus had in the desert. I know that while addicted my soul cried out to our Father in Heaven and HE healed me at the moment I gave up. The moment I sought a help here. I will never forget how the Lord used me to show people that through the shed blood of Christ we all can be redeemed IF we let go and let GOD save us.

RIP Brooke, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m 22 clean off Fentanyl for 16 months, was on it for 4yrs. And I just want to say how heartwarming your love is for your daughter. The way you remember every little detail in her addiction shows you truly loved her no matter what. I can only hope every brother/sister struggling can have a hand like yours to reach for help. I know brooke is still feeling loved even now❤️

[snickerson]

If this mother ever sees this, I want her to know that she truly is my inspiration, bc after 5 yrs of going through it with my son, I was depleted - your amazing strength helps me see there is hope!! Thank you
