Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis--and How to End It

Summary

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 organization 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 firsthand 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. Praise for American Fix:"The opioid crisis affects so many all across America--I'm proud that Ryan found help and is now helping others."--President Bill Clinton"As someone who has experienced the problem of addiction from both sides, both as President Obama's drug czar and as a person in long term recovery myself, I'm able to attest to our woefully inadequate system of treatment, criminal justice and rehabilitation. Ryan Hampton's book is a powerful and timely contribution to understanding the dimensions of this crisis--and what we can do about it."--Michael Botticelli, White House Drug Czar, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Obama
