Flindt Andersen: Squash The Drug Cartels, Solve The Drug Problem?

Published: Feb. 23, 2023, 1 p.m.

Welcome to another episode of Hard Knox Talks. In this episode, we dive into a pressing issue that has been gripping North America - the overdose crisis. Is declaring war on drug cartels the only way to put an end to this crisis? Our guest, Findt Anderson, shares his gripping story and his take on the extreme measures needed to save our communities from the clutches of drugs.

Findt's battle with addiction started at the young age of 13 when he started drinking. He battled opioids for 23 years, taking 70-80 pills daily until his best friend admitted him into the Betty Ford treatment center in 2001. Since then, Findt has been in recovery and making noise ever since.

In 2021, Findt was awarded the California Nonprofit of the Year for his organization, P.A.I.N. - Parents & Addicts In Need. His organization distributes Narcan and operates Sober Living Homes in Fresno, California. He also owns a private treatment center that offers a full continuum of subacute care and addiction rehabilitation services.

Findt isn't one to mince his words. "When I started all this I vowed 1 thing. To tell the f**king truth." And that's exactly what he does in this episode of Hard Knox Talks.
