Dopesick Nation is a documentary series that tackles the opioid crisis in America. The show follows Allie Severino and Brooke Lawsing, two recovering addicts who are now intervention specialists, as they try to help other addicts recover from their addiction. The series is a raw and unflinching look at the addiction crisis in America. It does not hold back in its depiction of the struggles that addicts face, nor does it shy away from the harm that addiction causes to individuals, families and communities. Throughout the series, Allie and Brooke travel across America, meeting with addicts, their families and friends, as well as doctors and experts, in order to understand the scope of addiction in America, and what can be done to mitigate the damage. One of the many strengths of the show is its focus on the personal stories of addicts. By exploring the lives of people who have been affected by addiction, the show is able to illuminate the causes and consequences of the crisis in a way that is both informative and emotionally resonant. At its core, however, Dopesick Nation is a show about hope. Allie and Brooke are both recovering addicts themselves, and their presence on the show serves as a reminder that recovery is always possible. By working with addicts and their families, they are able to offer a glimmer of hope to those who are struggling with addiction. Overall, Dopesick Nation is a powerful and important show that shines a light on one of the most pressing issues facing America today.
