Addiction I Full Documentary I NOVA I PBS

Èlite intende depopolare il mondo del 90% per com'è scritto sulle Guidestone in Georgia U.S.A.

Yeah yeah people are dying but statistically most pain med patients stick to their medication as prescribed. Underprescribing these llfe saving medications is NOT the answer.

Running does the same thing but with out the bad effects

Recovering cost money..
No insurance, no tax payers should pay for it, but "Big farma" who makes crazy money on it.

As a struggling alcoholic, this still hits home, even though it's a different substance.

Now there is a Carfentanil a powerful derivative of fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic anagesic produced from morphine. While fentanyl is about 100 times more powerful than morphine. Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, meaning it is 10,000 times more potent than morphine.

Medication assisted therapy is a perfectly reasonable way to stop but speak to your do tor about all the possibilities. Dependence is different then addiction and if in order to stay clean you'll need meds, i say do whatever it takes.. you'll most likely need some help in recovery for your thinking but Hopefully one day you'll be able to taper off medication and you'll no longer be physically dependent. Depending on the length and severity of the addiction the recovery process will be different

I have never understood this. I have, over the years, taken prescription opioids for various types of pain. Not once have I gotten any pleasure or high out of any of them, nor have I craved them or have been addicted to them. In fact, I never even finish taking the whole prescribed prescription.. could there be a genetically issue related to this problem?

USA should charge China fir all the medical care of addiction!
China provides and ships all the raw materials to South America to make fentanyl!

@NOVA|PBS Thank you for this well balanced documentary about addiction and the neuroscience underpinning peoples suffering and making it more understandable for those of us who have these medications for serious illness who are fortunate indeed to not get genetically triggered into addiction/abuse of the drugs. Every life Is Worthy of helping them out of the horrible cycle of drug/alcohol/tobacco addiction... All of us so called 'normal' people would do better to understand it and we all need help - supports for the wider circle of people who suffer along with the addicted person/loved one, and there is nowhere (seemingly) tangible and consistently there for us all for support through the hell to recovery... Thanks again, could do with a further in-depth documentary on What To Do Now and Into The Future, with a positive Life to be actually have for All.

He said the good thing about suboxone? Lol. There is NOTHING good about suboxone its another devil and sister to pills!!and its very expensive!! Dont try it people its terrible and just as hard to get off of!

Give that same treatment all race not just white rich privilege kids that had everything m that y they turned that way daddy still pay for his sickness to go away

In the world of egoists pretending being social.

That rachet in the pink sweater full of ish

Her receding hair line make her look like one of the Cone Heads characters

The WORST part of this video are the newborn babies addicted. How any woman can do that is so beyond my conception. Such ignorance and selfishness of them! They are DISGUSTING DISGRACEFUL and DESPICABLE..drug addicted or not! Those poor babies never asked to be born in such dire straights! Shameless women junkies!!! Bless the babies and kids who have to put up with sub humans as thier "parents'..it makes me literally ill...

update no longer do people get pain pills from doctors thanks to ppl abusing, these r street drugs killing folks.

The statistics say the doctors are delusional. They are the ones who are mentally ill thinking their treatments are working. This is an outrage. There are now over 100,000 Americans dying of drug addiction.

What's scumbags that we have in the health industry to say that your daughter is addicted we never want to see her again when they were the ones that got her addicted to the drugs they were giving her

Methadone saved me coming off that addiction 5mg per month
