At 16, while trying a difficult skateboard maneuver, Ryan severely injured his ankle. Doctors prescribed opioids, and Ryan, couchbound for a year, enjoyed the emotionally numbing effect of the drugs. When his ankle healed and his prescription was cut off, Ryan turned to street drugs for his fix. Now 26, he is addicted to fentanyl, and has nearly lost his life to overdose multiple times. Ryan’s parents fear that without a successful intervention, he is sure to perish at the hands of his addiction.
