And yet there is no consensus on the best treatment available to help addicted people, nor an understanding of how to scale the programs that have proven successful. As bestsellers such as Empire of Pain have brought to life, the pending multi-district litigation against opioid makers, distributors, and retailers could result in tens of millions of dollars to help treat the disease of addiction and provide communities across America with resources to help those struggling with addiction. Nearly a decade into the second wave of America's opioid epidemic, pharmaceutical companies are finally being forced to answer for the crisis they created. In this deeply reported and urgent followup to Dopesick, Macy exposes the swathes of America-especially rural America-that have been left to fend for themselves. In her characteristic narrative style, Beth Macy pulls the massive national health crisis that is opioid addiction down to its compelling, character-driven, emotional core to illustrate the personal cost American families have been forced to shoulder.
