🎧 Episode Title: Hijacked — How Opioids Rewire the Brain
Opioids don’t just block pain — they rewire the brain. In this episode of Logan’s Voice, I’m breaking down what actually happens in the brain when someone uses opioids, how addiction develops, and why recovery is so much more than a question of willpower.

This isn’t just science — it’s personal. My son Logan died from fentanyl poisoning in 2020. I believe if he were still here, he’d want the truth to be told. He’d say, “Dad, help get the word out.” So that’s what I’m doing.

If you’ve ever wondered how addiction hijacks the brain — or how healing can happen — this episode is for you. Whether you’re grieving, recovering, or trying to understand someone you love, you're not alone.
