    On Christmas Eve, 2017, Tess Henry was found dead in a dumpster in Las Vegas. Tess was a 28-year-old new mother, a former honor roll student, and a high school basketball player from suburban Roanoke, Virginia, a place ravaged by the national opioid crisis. The New York Times best-selling author Beth Macy chronicled Tess and her mom, Patricia, through Tess' harrowing, years-long battle to recover from heroin addiction in her award-winning book Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America. But just as Tess was on the brink of returning to a normal life with her young son, she was brutally murdered.Finding Tess: A Mother’s Search for Answers in a Dopesick America is a psychosocial autopsy of sorts, not just a retracing of Tess’ final steps on the streets of Las Vegas but also a dissection of what went wrong during the six-year span of her opioid addiction as well as the changes inspired by her story. This exclusive audio documentary - a coda to Dopesick - features interviews with Tess, her family, and many of those who tried to help her along the way as well as the systems and the people who failed her. By tracing Tess’ final steps as she tried so hard to make her way back to Virginia - and to her son - Finding Tess illuminates a journey shared by too many of the 2.6 million Americans battling opioid addiction, offering lessons from a cast of unlikely heroes and, along with them, hope.

    Stürzte täglich ein Flugzeug ab, würde man auch etwas tun, oder?In eine Boeing 787 passen ungefähr 250 Menschen. Genauso viele Menschen sterben in den USA täglich an Opioiden, also an Schmerzmitteln wie etwa Oxycodon, Vicodin oder Fentanyl. In der Altersgruppe der unter 50-Jährigen stellt die Überdosierung von Schmerzmitteln oder Drogen mittlerweile die häufigste Todesursache dar, noch vor Waffengewalt oder Verkehrsunfällen. Viele der Süchtigen bekamen die Medikamente anfangs von ihrem Arzt verschrieben, etwa nach einer Operation oder einer Sportverletzung. Von den hochwirksamen Mitteln kamen die Patienten dann nicht mehr los. Millionen Amerikaner sind somit durch Opioide auf Rezept in die Abhängigkeit geschlittert. Die Pharmakonzerne, die diese neuartigen und hochintensiven Schmerzmittel in den 1990er-Jahren in den Markt gedrückt haben, spielten und spielen die Risiken einer Sucht herunter. Milliardenprofite stehen im Raum.Die preisgekrönte Journalistin und Sachbuchautorin Beth Macy ist durch die USA gereist und hat Süchtige, Betroffene und Hinterbliebene besucht und ihre Lebenswege und Schicksale nachgezeichnet. Stellvertretend für die vielen Mütter, die ihre Kinder verloren haben, stellt sie die Frage nach dem Warum. Entstanden ist ein erschütternder Bericht über ein abhängiges, betäubtes und sterbendes Amerika.

    Journalist Beth Macy's definitive account of America's opioid epidemic "masterfully interlaces stories of communities in crisis with dark histories of corporate greed and regulatory indifference" (New York Times) - from the boardroom to the courtroom and into the living rooms of Americans.In this extraordinary work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades. From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy sets out to answer a grieving mother's question - why her only son died - and comes away with a gripping, unpausible story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy investigates the powerful forces that led America's doctors and patients to embrace a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same communities featured in her best-selling book Factory Man, the unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death.Through unsparing, compelling, and unforgettably humane portraits of families and first responders determined to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows that one thing uniting Americans across geographic, partisan, and class lines is opioid drug abuse. But even in the midst of twin ungekürzt.

    "In an era of overconsumption and instant gratification, Dopamine Nation explains the personal and societal price of being ruled by the next fix-and how to manage it. No matter what you might find yourself overindulging in-from the internet to food to work to sex-you'll find this book riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued. Lembke weaves patient stories with research, in a voice that's as empathetic as it is clear-eyed." -BETH MACY , author of Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America "Anna Lembke deeply understands an experience I hear about often in the therapy room, at the nexus between our modern addictions and our primal brains. Her stories of guiding people to find a healthy balance between pleasure and pain have the power to transform your life. " -LORI GOTTLIEB, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone "We all desire a break from our routines and those parts of life that upset us. What if, instead of trying to escape these things, we learn to turn toward them, to reach a peaceful harmony with ourselves and the people we share our lives with? Lembke has written a book that radically changes the way we think about mental illness, pleasure, pain, reward, and stress. Turn toward it. You'll be happy you did." -DANIEL J. LEVITIN, author of This Is Your Brain on Music and Successful Aging
