What The F#*K Do We Know

Comedy


In this episode of What the F#*k Do We Know, Katie and Sam discuss the opioid crisis in America. The opioid epidemic has been described as a “uniquely American problem”, where prescription rates alone are 40% higher than in other developed countries.  We go over what the opioid crisis is,  how it became such a massive issue,  and what state officials are doing to combat this epidemic.  This one is packed with information.  If you or someone you love is battling an addiction of any kind, consider reaching out to the following resource: SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service (in English and Spanish) for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders.
