What Next - This American Life: The Call
As the opioid overdose crisis continues, a group of volunteers started a hotline with one mission—not to encourage people to go to rehab, not even to discourage them from using—just to keep them alive for one more day.
A collaboration with This American Life.
Guests:
Stephen Murray, paramedic and overdose researcher at Boston Medical Center.
Jessie, a registered nurse who answers calls on the Never Use Alone hotline.
Kimber, a caller to the hotline.
