We need to treat this very complex disease... But the first question I always ask: is the individual willing to go get help?

In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE', Dr. Drew, alongside his co-hosts Bob Forrest and Mike Catherwood, sits down with Kevin Schaefer, Patrick Reilly, and Ryan Gorman from the podcast 'Don't Die Wisconsin'. Together, they dive into the heart of the opioid epidemic and its devastating impact on their home state of Wisconsin.
The conversation isn't just about the grim statistics; it's about real people, their struggles, and their paths to recovery. Kevin, Patrick, and Ryan bring a unique perspective as an intervention specialist, drug counselor, and someone with lived experience of addiction, respectively. They discuss the critical need to view addiction as a multifaceted disease and highlight the importance of support systems like Al-Anon and therapy.
