The Pharmacist's Fight: From Personal Loss to Community Advocate

I believe we're in a dark tunnel right now, but there's light at the end of the tunnel, and I think I got at least a partial solution for this that we can implement and make happen.
When Dan Schneider's son, Danny Jr., was tragically shot while buying drugs in New Orleans, it sparked a journey that would transform Dan from a grieving father into a relentless advocate for addiction recovery. This episode of Recovery Revolution Live dives into Dan's story, as chronicled in the Netflix series 'The Pharmacist'. Dan shares his frustrations with law enforcement's initial investigation and his determination to find justice for his son. But his mission didn't stop there.
He turned his pain into purpose by tackling the opioid epidemic head-on, advocating for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and founding the Tunnel of Hope Foundation to support recovery and education efforts. Throughout the conversation, Dan opens up about the stigma surrounding addiction, the vital role of family and community support, and the urgent need for innovative solutions in addiction treatment. His story is a testament to resilience and the power of advocacy, offering hope to anyone touched by addiction.
Tune in to hear how one man's tragedy became a catalyst for change.
