Fentanyl's Grip: A Deep Dive into the Crisis with Dan Schneider

When you talk about that kid who thought they were taking a Xanax pill, that their friend said- and I'm doing air quotes- I have a prescription and it came out of an amber bottle. These people didn't die before the new paradigm.
Imagine a world where a single synthetic drug is more lethal than heroin and is tearing through communities at an alarming rate. That's the reality explored in this episode of 'Recovering Hope', hosted by Mark Marcley. This time, Mark sits down with Dan Schneider, whose personal battle with drug addiction and his documentary 'The Pharmacist' bring a unique perspective to the conversation about the fentanyl crisis.
Dan shares chilling insights into the rise of fentanyl, a drug so potent that it has drastically changed the landscape of addiction in America. He talks about how pill mills in Louisiana have fueled this epidemic and the devastating impact on families and communities. But it's not all doom and gloom. Amidst the harrowing statistics and stories, there's a glimmer of hope. Mark and Dan discuss ways to combat this crisis, emphasizing the importance of recovery and support systems.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the depth of the fentanyl problem and looking for ways to help those affected.
