  • The Echo of Unheard Cries: Why We Can't Turn Down The Volume on America's Drug Crisis

    Even as overdose deaths appear to decline, tens of thousands of families are still getting that devastating phone call — the one that changes everything. In this episode of Logan’s Voice, host Doug Ballinger, Logan’s Dad, keeps the alarm sounding loud and clear.

    Doug shares the raw truth about America’s poisoned drug supply — fentanyl, xylazine, and nitazenes — and why a drop in numbers doesn’t mean it’s time to relax.
    He explains what’s working in communities that are saving lives through naloxone access, compassionate treatment, mental health care, and truth-telling without stigma.
    And most importantly, he reminds us that every one of us has the power to make a difference — because silence kills, but your voice saves lives.

  • Silence Is Deadly: Breaking the Stigma Around Substance Use Disorder

    Stigma kills more people than fentanyl—because silence keeps families from seeking help. If we don’t break the silence, we’ll keep burying our kids.

  • Behind the Numbers: Making Sense of the Overdose Crisis

    Behind every statistic is a story. Behind every number is a name.

    In this episode of Logan’s Voice, Doug — Logan’s Dad — takes a closer look at the overdose statistics we hear in the news. With provisional 2024 data showing nearly 80,000 lives lost, down from 110,000 the year before, some headlines suggest things are “improving.” But the truth is, we are still in a deadly crisis — and new poisons like xylazine and carfentanil aren’t even fully reflected in the data.

    Doug breaks down what the numbers really mean, what they fail to capture, and why we must keep saying the names of those we’ve lost — including his son, Logan.
