Will Andrews was 23, homeless and addicted to heroin, then fentanyl. He agreed to let reporter Trisha Thadani follow him as he tried to kick his addictions while living on San Francisco's streets. His story is one of personal struggle, but also of a broken system of care. This episode first ran in September, but not much has changed about the city’s drug treatment system since then. Fifth & Mission is on a lighter publishing schedule over the two holiday weeks, with new episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
