Addiction. It's a slippery subject, one we've covered a few times here on The Deep. Today's episode is about a woman, Jess who got addicted to prescribed pills. Medication from a doctor. This is more common than we think. It's happening and it's happening to young people. Jess's story is scary, traumatic and fascinating.
