Description
Nearly every American knows someone who has been affected by the opioid crisis. Addiction is a trans-partisan issue that impacts individuals from every walk of life. Millions of Americans, tired of watching their loved ones die while politicians ignore this issue. Where is the solution? Where is the hope? Where's the outrage? Ryan Hampton is a young man who has made addiction and recovery reform his life's mission. Through the wildly successful non-profit organisation Facing Addiction, Hampton has been rocketed to the center of America's rising recovery movement - quickly emerging as the de facto leader of the national conversation on addiction. He understands first hand how easy it is to develop a dependency on opioids, and how destructive it can quickly become. Now, he is waging a permanent campaign to change our way of thinking about and addressing addiction in this country. In American Fix, Hampton describes his personal struggle with addiction, outlines the challenges that the recovery movement currently faces, and offers a concrete, comprehensive plan of action towards making America's addiction crisis a thing of the past.
In American Fix, Ryan Hampton tells his story of recovery, provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the national opioid crisis, and offers an agenda for how to address it.
