In episode one, we speak with Sharon, a mother of five from suburban Chicago who describes how she fell into opioid addiction after undergoing a surgical procedure to address her chronic pain.

In this three-part series, we’ll be examining the opioid epidemic in America, which is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands every year and has been declared a nationwide public health emergency by the U.S. government.
