Episode 4
This is part 1 of a 2 part series and probably the most important 2 episodes that I can do. It discusses my take on the podcast of “Why is this Happening” with Chris Hayes – the Episode from February 4, 2020 entitled “The Frontlines of Addiction with Beth Macy.” His podcast interview is a sociological view of the opioid crisis. Beth Macy has some interesting statistics that she discovered while writing her book, “Dopesick.” She also has some new astounding statistics about MAT which stands for medication assisted treatment. This is one of the most intelligent interviews that matches in every way our family’s experience with addiction and heroin.
