If I could just get her, if I could just get in the car with her and get her home, that it'll all be okay. Her body is going to do anything it can to get those drugs. She will get in a car and she will drive north, even knowing that she only has enough gas to get her halfway and no money.
Imagine having it all – a lovely home in Silicon Valley, top-tier schools for your kids, and a tight-knit community. Yet, Eleanor and Dave's world turned upside down when their daughter fell into the grip of fentanyl addiction.
