Is Opioid Addiction Really a Crisis?

If your eyes are open and your ears are listening, you know that opioid bullets are flying everywhere.

The opioid epidemic is here and growing. What would happen if every day a plane crashed with 200 passengers on it? All dead. Every day. Would there be an uproar? You bet there would be. YES, America…we have a crisis!

Every individual who succumbs to opioids creates a twisting tornado that impacts seven other people every day. Families and relationships are splintered; work is destroyed; and personal health is threatened. Addiction isn’t about one person.

Scott H. Silverman’s The Opioid Epidemic: What You Don’t Know Will Destroy Your Family and Your Life will ask the question: Where is the outrage?

You will discover:

• How simple greed, corruption, and cowardice created a monster.
• Telltale signs that someone is addicted.
• Why the teenage mind is more vulnerable.
• How to talk to a loved one who might be suffering with addiction.
• How to overcome the stigma of addiction and shame.

Addiction prevents a happy, joyous, healthy life if gone untreated. Here’s what there is: There is help. There is hope. There is treatment.

Addiction is a killer disease that is totally treatable. It starts with you.
