Nearly everyone in the Untied States has been touched in some way by the opioid epidemic, including Amy Sullivan and her family. Using her own story as a launching point, she explores the complexity of the crisis through first hand accounts of people grappling with the reverberating effects of stigma, treatment, and recovery. By centering these voices. Sullivan exposes the devastating effects of a one-size-fits-all approach toward treatment of opioid dependency, questioning current treatment models, healthcare inequities, and the criminal justice system. In sharing these stories and chronicling their lessons, Sullivan offers a path forward that cultivates empathy, love, and hope for anyone affected by chaotic drug use and its harms. Book jacket.
