The Rush: Digging Into Addiction

The Rush: Digging into Addiction

The nation’s opioid addiction crisis has, in some quarters, led to a change in the public perception of addiction. More and more, policymakers are talking about substance abuse as a public health problem. However, there is a lot we still don’t know about how addiction works.

WSKG News takes a look at the life of an addicted person: how drug use affects them physiologically, what recovery looks like, and new methods communities might adopt in order to help them.

Hosted by WSKG’s Crystal Sarakas, The Rush: Digging Into Addiction hopes to shine some light on what addiction really is.

The Rush was produced by Crystal Sarakas & Bret Jaspers and edited by Bret Jaspers.
Financial support from a grant from the Binghamton Rotary Charities and the listeners of WSKG.
