The Overdose Crisis and the Front Lines of New America

The opioid crisis is one of the most pressing public health emergencies in the United States today. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, and two-thirds of those deaths involved opioids. The crisis has devastated communities across the country, leaving families shattered and lives lost.

In The Overdose Crisis and the Front Lines of New America, journalist Maia Szalavitz takes readers on a journey into the heart of the crisis. She visits overdose prevention sites, meets with people who are struggling with addiction, and talks to the doctors, nurses, and other frontline workers who are fighting to save lives.

Szalavitz's book is a powerful indictment of the failed policies that have led to the overdose crisis. She argues that the war on drugs has been a disaster, and that the criminalization of drug use has only served to drive people into the shadows and make it more difficult for them to get the help they need.

But The Overdose Crisis and the Front Lines of New America is not just a story of despair. It is also a story of hope. Szalavitz profiles the people who are working to save lives and build a better future for those affected by the crisis. She shows that there are solutions to the overdose crisis, and that we can end this epidemic if we have the courage to change our approach.

The Overdose Crisis and the Front Lines of New America is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the opioid crisis and its impact on our society. It is a powerful and moving book that will change the way you think about addiction and recovery.
