Stories from doctors, nurses, and therapists dealing on a daily
basis with the opioid crisis in Appalachia should be heartbreaking.
Yet those told here also inspire with practical advice on how to
assist those in addiction, from a grass-roots to a policy level.
Readers looking for ways to combat the crisis will find suggestions
alongside laughter, tears, and sometimes rage. Each author brings
the passion of their profession and the personal losses they have
experienced from addiction, and posits solutions and harm reduction
with positivity, grace, and even humor. Authors representing seven
states from northern, Coalfields, and southern Appalachia relate
personal encounters with patients or providers who changed them
forever. This is a history document, showing how we got here; an
evidenced indictment of current policies failing those who need
them most; an affirmation that Appalachia solves its own problems;
and a collection of suggestions for best practice moving forward.
