Brandon grew up like a lot of us did -- he played baseball, he was a Boy Scout, he had dreams of working in law enforcement.
Brandon grew up like a lot of us did -- he played baseball, he was a Boy Scout, he had dreams of working in law enforcement. But when Brandon was prescribed pain medication for a gym injury, his life changed due to an opioid use disorder. He prayed and prayed and prayed to have another chance, and now, he's four years into recovery.
Today Brandon works a job, pays taxes, and is focused on building his credit, like so many people in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). Brandon says,"I'm somebody's son, I'm also somebody's family member, somebody's friend."
Recovery like Brandon's is possible -- and when we come together to take down the stigma of opioid use disorder, it's probable, too.
