About this listen

A compelling tale of a mother's struggle to save her son, recovery 'rehab' secrets, loss, death, and grief. She wanted him to get well but was confronted with a system more focused on profit than recovery.

Laura Cole watched her beloved son detox from heroin time and again. She struggled to help him through addiction recovery treatment and pharmacotherapy. Eventually, she suspected that the treatments were causing her son more harm than good. Navigating a nightmare of Big Pharma, for-profit treatment centers, and corrupt caregivers, Laura saw her son get lost in a thick web of exploitation. She was brought to the inescapable conclusion that addiction recovery treatment was big business. She realized no magic bullet, pharmaceutical cocktail, or perpetual pink cloud could remedy or cure addiction. It's a lengthy process and fight, which some ultimately lose.

In this heart-wrenching book, Laura explains the natural reactions of parents with children suffering from opioids and other addictive substances - and how they and their families are stigmatized. She details the desperation and lengths parents go to, buying into anything that sounds like a cure. In addition, she shares her grief journey after losing her son to Fentanyl poisoning in 2020.

Laura cautions her listeners to educate themselves about addiction recovery centers, psychiatric medications, and potential alternatives. In Opioid Hell, you'll discover:

- The most commonly prescribed pharmaceutical medicines that don't cure addiction

- Ways people with an addiction are trafficked for insurance fraud and lucrative payouts

- How the underlying cause of addiction is not treated in rehab facilities.

Opioid Hell is a cautionary tale every parent should hear. If you like straight talk, meeting problems head-on, and a gentle approach that affirms you and your child's basic humanity, then you'll find strength in Laura & Dylan Cole's important expose.
