In the US, drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for people under 50, with two thirds of those involving opioids. In this accessible but clinical guide, Yale psychiatrist Adam Bisaga walks us through the science of opiate addiction, different stages and methods of treatment, dealing with relapse, and strategies for choosing treatment programs, managing withdrawal and medication, and reversing an overdose.
