We need effective emergency intervention techniques to prevent opioid overdose, and I believe, in this regard, we need the national over-the-counter availability of naloxone and that naloxone which will prevent overdose when it's administered to the patient.
Picture this: a mother's world turned upside down when her daughter, Jenny, is struck by a taxi and thrown twenty feet across a bustling New York City street. This harrowing event catapults Jenny into a nightmare of PTSD and substance abuse, a story that resonates with countless families across the U.S.
In this episode of 'New Books in Drugs, Addiction and Recovery', host Marshall Poe sits down with Vivian Percy to discuss her book, 'Saving Jenny: Rescuing Our Youth from America's Opioid and Suicide Epidemic'. Vivian opens up about her painful journey alongside her daughter through addiction and recovery. This conversation is not just about one family's struggle; it's a stark reminder of the larger societal issues at play.
From the exploitation within the mental health industry to the complicity of Big Pharma, Vivian sheds light on the dark realities many face. She also talks about the importance of emergency interventions like naloxone and the need for accessible, high-quality treatment options. If you're interested in understanding the deep-seated issues behind the opioid crisis and finding hope through recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
