- Overdoses from heroin, fentanyl and other opioids are the leading cause of accidental death in North Carolina. In 2017, the WRAL Documentary "Searching For A Fix" shared personal stories of families who lost loved ones to overdose and examined the challenges of getting people addicted to opioids into treatment. The new WRAL Documentary "Finding A Fix" looks at how North Carolina's efforts to combat opioid addiction have changed and expanded in the years since. It also spotlights first responders, activists and key policy makers on the front lines of the epidemic.

That poor mother who got the bed 3 hours after her daughter passed away ! 💔 may God bless her and help her find peace. Rip to all the lost souls.
Now we need to prosecute physicians that won’t prescribe narcotics to chronic pain patients that actually need it. Because of abuse, there are patients whose pain is being ignored.
Pain clinic. Go to one. They give you pain pills, if you need them.
I lost my son Michael in October 2020
to his addiction to opiods. Rehab after rehab and he just couldn't stop.
It all began with prescription drugs.
Lost my 21 year old boy to OD last week. :( I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this
@@yourgirlcindy 🙏
I’m so sorry.
It’s a true demon, a soul sucking demon. There is no choice in it, and i guarantee he fought this demon daily.
I’m so sorry for your pain and loss. I pray you find Peace.
@@yourgirlcindy I’m so sorry to you too.
Too many kids lost their lives to this nightmare. I pray you find Peace.
They told me I would never come off Methadone. 120 mg a day. 10 years of it. And I did. 4 years.. of nothing but ibuprofen. It absolutely is possible.
@@iano4405 Damn what kind methadone is that like i know I get botell frim 10mg/ml so is that high concentrated where is like 1ml-10mg so whole botell is like 100mg. That's what I get before and to be honest I was devastating my self with that and xanax. But now its only in methadone centers so I switch to Suboxone bcz i can getvto home and I think it's better
Really? With Ibuprofen? How long did it take? And did you lower your doses?
@@Shteno lol ibuprofen is a miracle Man
Hi Lisa i am from Croatia and i am metadon addict last 15 yaers. I try be clean so many time but its hard, heroin its like nothing against metadone, and i dont be strong too clean myself. Ok, sory for this, i just say i dont know wot i say...
@@nnzrsinanovic2772 Nadam se da pričaš Hrvatski, ako da volio bih popričati sa tobom
Much love to these grieving parents
Treatment should be at no cost to anyone. The savings from what it produces should cover the cost alone, a few times over. Why can't anyone see this. I am not a financial genius.
You are so right!
Im in chicago.
True but doesn't help the devil's that profit off of addicts smh
Ask the Republicans
Your ABSOLUTELY right
What kind of doctor prescribe opioids to a 15 year old for a broken arm?!
I have had severelly broken arm and leg, that doesn't need opioids. At least not after the the limb is repaired and plastered. Not even after surgery of a broken arm you don't need opioids.
That's insane.
I was given demerol for an appendectomy at 13.
I broke my arm in two places at 10 and was prescribed hydrocodone that was 20 years ago though
These stories are heartbreaking!
This is so sad
To many young people dying
The government should open rehabilitation centers for a very low cost from the money they got from the company’s that put out these pills
I totally understand what you're going through. Just lost my sister Dec 8th, 2020 due to a heroin overdose.
Sorry for our loss!
I'm so sorry.😔
😢
YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT HURTS... WITH THAT SAID IM DOING HEROIN RIGHT NOW, ITS BY FAR THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER DID!!! I WANNA QUIT BUT ITS NOT THAT EASY, PLEASE PRAY 4 ME AN I'LL DO THE SAME 4 U, BLESS U ALL!!!
Is there methadone treatments in states,from Australia?
Your brave for being able to admit that. I'm praying for you as well.
@Mitchell 2020 My sister had this problem and it is no party. She was placed on subutex and she never did H again. It would have killed her. You are not alone. I am sure, like most, it stared innocently with a prescription. I almost saw her die trying to stop, to the point you pray she can get some more. The subutex made quitting an almost unnoticeable transfer. Only, it was safe and legal. Of course, in years to come it may prove to be harmful but it is a good alternative to help now. I can almost bet it is better for you than H or worse fentinol. Let me further say that I have seen first hand that methadone is physically harder to kick than H, oxy, anything. You can do it but not alone. Please talk to a doctor.
@Mitchell 2020 I beg you with all my heart not to start using the N to do the H. If you feel like you can't stop now, then crossing that line will make it a hundred times harder to quit and you want even want to quit as you can't possible imagine that it can be done. Which will only leave you with no fight left to kick the thing. Thinking of you. You are not alone. Sending love to anyone who got caught up in this horrible thing.
I'm on liquid handcuffs. Methadone/physeptone...... On it 7 years.... clean from the devils dandruff 4 years (yes ...for 3 years I was using both)
Totally heartbreaking!😔
Yeah.
Has anyone seen The Pharmacist on Netflix? It is an awesome documentary.
Nah. Watching The Punsher.
I suppose that's relevant, but not to the tone or context of what you said.
How was your Christmas/New Years?
What with this virus it was pretty small my end. A pair of Uncles and my Mum - who thought it was funny to wrap 18 rolls of toilet paper around a Justin Bieber book and give it to me as a group gift.
It was quite funny.
Anyhoo, have a lovely day.
Yes!
This handsome guy is our kids.. please do well..
I live in Canada and was prescribed methadone for opioid addiction. i am wondering if they give that to addicts ih the States. It stops the sickness and the cravings.
Yup you don't need a script thought just go to a clinic. $50 a week.
Yes they do
Same in Hong Kong, methadone clinics, 1 dollar per dose, for established addicts
Yeah methadone is better than dope it last longer but subs saved my life i used to hate it but know it’s all good.
Your so sweet. Best wishes dude..
through an operation i had on my left big toe called fusion well i got hooked on all pain meds i have been on methadone for 6 years i was up there125 when i started now 45 and still going down i have been pain pill free(opioids)for 6years thats carries and still 45 to go you don't get hooked over night and the same as clean. it works if you make it work. peace and luv.
Don't u have Suboxone everyone can beat addiction with suboxone. We in "Europe" have same problem so we give Suboxone to everyone who take heroin or abuse opioid,it's not maybe best way but it save many lives and lot of ppl today work have family normal life with 4mg Suboxone on day
We have it here and it not only saved my sisters life but it changed my sisters life. She could then function and have a job, stay out of jail. I agree with you on every word you say, as I saw my own sisters transformation. The before had gotten so bad and she was up to like a 400 dollar a day habit. Thank you for you post.
@@janekocorek3313 I m glad our sister is ok now just keep her on suboxone and she will be ok. I try methadone and all other things even I stay clean for 2 months but I will fall in deep depression and only suboxone save me. Now I have normal life kids, wife. I don't feel that suboxone.I m just normal person
@@nnzrsinanovic6475 That just made my day, that is awesome. She is okay now, but just no longer on this earth, or not with us. However, her addiction had nothing to do with her death a couple of weeks ago and neither did the ronavirus. She did not die from an over dose but she sure battled with addiction for years. I am still in denial and pick up the phone to call her at least once a day. Her life did get normal when she got on those. Thank GOD. So happy for you and your family because as you know it affects everyone who loves you. Rock on man, what a hero.!!!
@@janekocorek3313 I have 2 daughter's and I m sorry to hear that but I assure u I will never forget our comment
@@janekocorek3313 Mate im from europe to and in my country is methadone and its free no costs at all and we have the most flexible law in the western world possesion for personnal use is no more a crime when catch they send you to a detox center to talk with doctors doesnt mean you stay there but after they put you on the meth.program and that law is for all kind of drugs and it helps the country the persons and also help the justice system they look at persons like a person who is sick and not a criminal i think more countrys should follow our example drugs they been here for mileniuns and they will never go away and due to the incridible amont of money generate they will be illegal forever but that is a field where we can spend hours talking about but one thing is shure the way that the authorities use in the world to fight and resolve this problem had failed look in your country look in europe and the remain of the world the same and in my personnal opinion new ways should be thinking how to manage this situation ok Mate all the best.....
KRATOM TEA!! It's legal in most states but also kava kava root and valerian root help with withdrawals without any addictive issues to them. It's so disheartening that the government won't offer herbal remedies vs another chemical that causes more dependency. Good luck to anyone out there struggling.
Hmm. I suppose Science did screw this one up a bit.
Nobody gets addicted to holistic remidies.
Because they don't work.
(Hehehe)
Kratom is also addictive Just Google it. Jeeez
Thank you! Kratom is often misunderstood and it works!
BS! Kratom does jack nothing. KETAMINE INFUSIONS is what helps
Kratom is addictive don’t let people tell you it’s not
"You remember stop breathing". Had me laughing, pretty sure no one would.
Made this experience a few days ago. Friend of mine stopped breathing after a shot of Heroin. Took me nearly 10 minutes to support bis brain with oxygen, till the medics arrive. Hard work, hard experience, but he survived and he is good.
😢😢😢😢 Very very sad!
It's so sad to think of it, but there is a proven heriditary element to addiction, and these kiddos left behind have a greater risk sadly.
Very true
Rehab,dont get your hopes up for success.
The statistics speak for themselves. NC has been doing things that work.
AS LONG AS ITS EASIER TO OBTAIN THAN MAINTENANCE MEDS ITS GONNA CONTINUE TO GET WORSE
I'm sorry but I don't see scientific method of the disease model of addiction. If I have cancer I can't just decide I'm not going to have cancer tommorow! I'm not being unsympathetic, I take opiates every day for massive injuries. It is a struggle I deal with regularly.
I hope there is a special place in hell for people who introduce and addict others!
Diabetes is a disease, cancer is a disease what make addiction a disease I don't understand, can someone please be kind an explain it to me? I know what addiction is but what makes it a disease I don't get
In my opinion, all humans are prone to addiction, be it addiction to positive things such as love or friendship or negative things such as self harm or drugs. We form routines that are familiar and safe and then eventually the routines form us, if they are negative habits then they cause discomfort or dis-ease. No one is completely well physically and it is no different mentally, we are all looking for a fix and sometimes we choose the fix that will break us.
Diseases are transmittable.
@@myplaylist2468 not necessarily, what about cancers, autoimmune diseases, hereditary diseases, etc
@@PinacoladaMatthew Hrm. Good point.
If I wanted to be a pain I'd separate between disease and affliction, where a disease is transmittable and afflictions are not - but yeah. Although hereditary and genetic diseases are transmittable, and I'd certainly assume injecting cancerous tissue into a healthy host wouldn't lead to less cancer...
Is that an okay answer?
If we get addictid
A doctor prescribed me oxi. I could not take it. Made me sick. I hated it. Pain management so they say. Then she had this great drug. Methadone. 120 mg plus 50 mg or more of Norco. A day.. for 10 years. I took 40 day. The most devastating shit.
40 days to get clean? That's tood
Everyone has troubles, and not everyone is addicted...it is a brain disfunction
People should have access to help for rehabilitation. Free.
Said no Republican ever....
they need more beds
Thank god
I quit
Before madness
That was a terrible haiku.
This isn't one either.

Detox and then apply the 3 C’d. No Car, Cash and Cellphone for 6 months
If someone is an adult and not incarcerated you cannot really do that if THEY are providing for themselves. There are plenty of people who what they call functioning addicts the ones that pay their own bills, work and generally maintain their own affairs. As long as someone is doing that then you cannot really bar them from legal activities. Now, if it is a halfway house or something they can do things such as impose a curfew or require that they have a job/school whatever, but as long as they are doing that, paying their own way and not being a bad influence on others what they do with their money and resources is their business.
Lol it's hilarious
In what way?
this is so great but as a professional in the field, we have a very low success rate, its because of many intractable problems, mental illness, bad parenting, our consumeristic society, be real it may not be solvable, try your best but dont act like there is an ultimate solution, thats just dumb
Ikr? The success rates are abysmal. And most rehabs still follow a 12 step model. NA/AA have a 2.5% success rate. That money needs to go to scientific research.
Yuo need to legalise
All th goverments are in on et
Its a long road to recovery.
But if it starts with fun and games just add death to the fun is NO MORE AND THE GAME YOU ARE NOW LOSSERS . AND THE NEW GAME YOUR LOCKED 🔒 INTO
WILL END YOUR LIFE.
FUN AND GAMES OVER A LONG TIME AGO. THANK BIG DRUG COMPANIES.
WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY
PERIOD.
FOR THEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
They certainly pushed oxycotain as being non-addictive to doctors!
look up the iboga plant ibogain root
says it is illegal ?
Only if you look up the Gimpi Gimpi leaf.
They giv dis shit to us and den the tel us dat is awar fult
I luv de waay u spell, its so cute , and brained dead sorta way XD , jkjk

Psilocybin is the answer...
❤️🍄❤️
Um no, Ketamine is the answer
@@alantate25 I just went through a hellish suboxone detox and I used both ketamin and shrooms to help me through, so we are both right.. cheers...🔱
@@matthewjamesmaxwell3798 I'm curious...how much subox were you on when you detox off it ?
@@jameslorman33 I was on 16 ml and done a rapid detox over the space of a week right down to about 1 ml when I broke it off... Still clean, well over 100 days now, have actually lost count... Take it easy...❤️
I MITE LIE TO A JUDGE, BUT I WILL NEVER LIFE TO MY DOCTOR, THERE TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE AN YOUR LYING TO THEM, DOESN'T MAKES SENSE, BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION,... GOD BLESS U ALL!
Yeah well, if your doctor is a pill pusher then They will hapilly lie to You.
Also, don't lie to a judge.
Also, don't put in writing that you'd lie to a judge. Dummy.
There was no crack crisis. This is interesting
So many cheap excuses....Someone introduced me to heroin, he got prescribed opioids after he broke his leg, she started to snore it, blablabla. It is your decision, you wanted to get high, you knew about the dangers....I feel compassion, but mostly they arent victims.
This is a child. Where the fuck were the parents? On the fucking internet probably. I have son. 15 I don't ever take my eyes or my heart from him. No social media. He is an awesome person. Pay attention you fucking idiots. Or stop having kids.
The first ones a choice after that it’s not a choice after that.
I hope you never lose anyone to this horrifically powerful all consuming disease
CHURCH, WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START. BECAUSE THEY ARE FIGHTING THE DEVIL.THAT"S WHY YOU MUST BE BORN AGIAN .HE IS THE ONLY THAT HAS DEFEATED THE DEVIL.HE AIN'T NO WIMP CALL ON HIM JESUS THEY FEAR HIM. JESUS IS GOD
shut up u clown its all bullshit
How can being a junkie or diabetic be the same? Diabetics don't rob or steal. For real 🤣
Diabetics don't have to steal because most of the time insurance pay for the medication. People on Heroine steal bcas you have to pay out of pocket and it can become very expensive when it becomes dependent on your health. When you don't have the money and you going through, what else to do when you experiencing severe pain!
Legalised all drugs is the answer
maybe decriminalized first
Why then will have a world full of junkies do you know how stupid that sounds.
"They are in a loving family now..." Well...wasn't their father in that same loving family?
It's a trite thing for them to say, but probably true. A parent should (at minimum) care enough about a kid to make sure their basic needs are met. With a monkey this big on their back it is very difficult for addicts to provide this.
Addiction isn't a disease.
Shit up bro you obviously don’t anything fucking douche.
Democrats policies
Junkies should not be given narcan. It just enables them.
It saves their lives.heroin enables them
These people are as important to me as you are.
Yours is a shitty opinion from a shitty perspective by (what I can only guess as) a shitty person.
@@myplaylist2468 these disgusting creatures are not people.
You'd make a great nazi.
@@catherinerothe4374 I think you just want to provoke. But in a way you are right, most of them are to blame and no victim. If you start with opioids you are buying an one way ticket. Once you are hocked there is a hardly a way out.
My son is in active addiction and there is no place for treatment as he has no money or insurance.🥲🥲🥲
I didn’t have insurance they have state places you just gotta go to the hospital an say your gonna kill yourself that’s the only way I hope you done gets help I was him an I don’t ever want to G that way again.
This all too common. Many have lost the battle because lack of resources. Hope your loved one was able to get help or at least still alive. There’s always hope if they’re still alive
