In this podcast, we review the facts about the dangers to our population of drug abuse and what we can do to help ease the crisis.

We learn that:

1. Overdoses are the leading cause of accidental deaths in the USA. Most people have no idea.
2. The easy availability and low cost of fentanyl play an outsize role in overdoses. It's the new heroin.
3. Only one-quarter of medical professionals have any training in addiction, which means we must choose very carefully and make sure they are 100% qualified to treat addiction.
4. We must speak up to our local leaders to make treatment more available, to make it known as a disease, and to make quality treatment available to all citizens regardless of race or belief.
