Busting Addiction and Its Myths
The purpose of Safehouse podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.
Bust opioids and smash the ignorance that comes with it
Season 1 – Episode 07

What did they find in his system? How about fentanyl, oxycodone and alcohol?
It’s no surprise that alcohol was a part of the deadly cocktail, but it alone wasn’t the reason for the overdose deaths…fentanyl, 100 times more powerful than heroin, was the factor that likely made the cocktail truly deadly.
