What does it take to truly support those battling heroin addiction? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner dive deep into this question with Tracey Helton, a renowned harm reduction advocate and author of 'The Big Fix: Life After Heroin'.

They remind listeners that no one can recover if they’re not alive to do so, urging support for overdose awareness initiatives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction recovery and the ethical considerations that come with it.
