According to Dave, ‘No one ever told me that the really dangerous shit doesn’t come from the drug dealer. It comes from your family doctor.’ In March 2023, the U.S. CDC reported an unprecedented spike in stimulant prescriptions between 2020 and 2021; the sharpest increase happening in women between the ages of 20 and 49 during the pandemic.

Advice on where someone can begin to seek help and get on the road to recovery. Free help is available.
