Dope Sick: Second Impression
My thoughts on 3 character types and their relationship to the treatment process. The Unwitting, the Unscrupulous, and the Undecided. These pose the biggest threat of distraction for families needing and wanting professional assisted recovery. The only protection from the harmful effects of the trio is a promotion of self  (family) reliance.

Try these three things as a family.
*Expand the base of support. Look to involve respected relatives, old teachers, community leaders. You never know which straw of support will help break the back of an addiction problem. 
*Identify and attack an empowering destination. While respecting the present and treatable situation, attention must fixate on a life-changing reality. 
*Every minute being progressive is a minute stolen from self-destruction. Don't take for granted any moments when healing. Every positive thought and action is treatment in and of itself.

Pain is the source and the reason to help and to exploit.  Episode 1 highlights it physically and socially and we contrast it with our intentions, as professional helpers and healthcare workers, towards the people helped and harmed by this crisis.
