A New Docuseries About The US Opioid Crisis Is Meant to Shock Viewers And Make Them Feel Very Uncomfortable

There is no doubt there is a true crisis that needs immediate intervention and solutions.  Opioids are highly addictive and one of the easiest drugs to overdose on.  Opioid deaths caused by overdosing are greater than the deaths resulting from breast cancer.  A recent Surgeon General’s report shows that nearly 21 million, 1 ½ times more than those with cancer, suffer from substance abuse yet 90% never seek treatment. 

Treatment centers are evolving to eliminate the excuses of so many addicts.  The fear, depression, anxiety and many other problems that accompany drug abuse keep 9 out of 10 from getting help.  There are facilities specializing in treating adolescents, couples, and even pet owners.  These treatment centers are finding ways to raise the success rate by meeting people where they are and finding what will help them remain for the completion of treatment. Getting the tools they need for the aftercare of recovery is necessary for a healthy life, so finding the right treatment center that fits the individual need is critical.
