Podcast: Fentanyl, Opioids, & Addiction. A conversation with John Bayles of the Recovery Resource Center
In this special podcast, we spoke with John Bayles, Program Director of Jefferson County's Recovery Resource Center. We discussed the fentanyl crisis: What is it? How it is part of a broader problem of opioid addiction and overdose? How do people end up ingesting fentanyl without setting out to do so? What are the implications of how potent the drug is?
We also had an opportunity to have a broader discussion about drug addiction. Please take 30 minutes or so to listen to the podcast.
