Ryan Hampton is not who you might expect to be a recovering heroin addict. His life was on an upward trajectory, working in the White House for Bill Clinton when he was given a prescription for Oxycontin for an ankle injury.
The opioid addiction turned into a heroin addiction. Hampton explains the current crisis in America and lessons every country can learn about addiction, recovery and reform from the view of someone who has suffered and is now sober. His book is called American Fix: Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis and How to End It
