Fatal Chemistry - Inside the...
Davis Truman
In the book Fatal Chemistry, one gets to know the frightful reality of the rise of fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that has changed the face of addiction, broken families, and put the limits of medicine, policy, and even human nature to the test. This book, by its very compelling nature and with the power of the investigative journalists, dives deep into how fentanyl changed from being a breakthrough in medicine to a dangerous drug that is the cause of the drug epidemic in the community worldwide, which is distributed on the streets.
Aside from the history of the opiates, the dark side of the web in the illegal trade, Fatal Chemistry uncovers the driving forces behind the epidemic that are concealed. You understand how the stress, trauma, and social life problems of the early years lead to addiction – but also realize how science, empathy, and prevention can be the answer to it.
If so, the person is a medical provider, a policymaker, an educator, or simply someone who wants to know the real story behind the news. Fatal Chemistry is full of both learning and optimism – an uncommon mixture of reality, people's experiences, and useful insights.
In here, you will find:
• The untold history of opioids and the birth of fentanyl
• How illicit fentanyl entered the global market — and why it's so deadly
• The anatomy of the epidemic and its devastating ripple effects
• Real-world approaches to treatment, recovery, and harm reduction
• The science behind stress, trauma, and addiction
• Proven strategies for overdose prevention and community resilience
Fatal Chemistry: Inside the Fentanyl Crisis is more than a piece of writing; it is a realization. Informative, very emotional, and profoundly human, this must-have piece of writing will alter the way in which you view addiction, recovery, and the world surrounding you.
