Most people struggling with addiction are trying to cope with physical, sexual, or emotional trauma. Each patient's history of trauma should be understood and addressed by the prescribing doctor, the family, and the patient.

    Since 2004, I have been in recovery from drug addiction. Since that time, it has been my mission to understand all I can about the disease that kills so many people and destroys so many lives. Rooted in trauma, shame, and fear, our view of addiction will change as we open our minds to new information. Addiction is treatable, treatment works, and people recover.

    My name is Dr. Stephen Loyd.

    This is my story.

    Harry, Tricky Dick, and the Duke

    Harry J. Anslinger. Richard Nixon. Ronald Reagan. 

    Harry, Tricky Dick, and the Duke. These three men shaped our modern culture, and they unwittingly exacerbated the issue that has grown into the opioid crisis.

    In order to understand today's crisis, we need to understand where it came from. The biggest obstacle to overcoming the opioid crisis is stigma. This stigma is rooted in our history, going all the way back to the early 20th century, when it was criminalized on a large scale in the United States.

    Addiction is treatable, treatment works, and people recover.
