Dopesick is a powerful and moving story that reveals the disturbing truth behind America's opioid crisis and explains how a nation has become enslaved to prescription drugs. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding this complex issue.

Publication date: 11 November 2021
Publisher: Head of Zeus


Dopesick is a major TV series on Disney+ that is essential viewing. The Times describes it as "a shocking investigation" that unfolds with the pace of a thriller. The Observer calls it a "deep – and deeply needed – look into the troubled soul of America." Tom Hanks has praised the book, calling it "essential reading." The New York Times describes it as a "powerful and moving story" that explains how a large corporation, Purdue, encouraged small town doctors to prescribe OxyContin to a country already awash in painkillers. The drug's dangerously addictive nature was hidden, while many used it as an escape to numb the pain of joblessness and the need to pay the bills. Macy tries to answer a grieving mother's question – why her only son died – and comes away with a harrowing tale of greed and need.
