🎯 Actress Hayden Panettiere Reveals Struggle with Addiction and Liver Damage, Finds Sobriety and Gratitude!

Did you hear the news about Hayden Panettiere? The actress recently opened up about her struggles with addiction and how it affected her health. Apparently, by the time she turned 30 in 2019, her body had enough and was showing signs of jaundice, which made her eyes turn yellow, her face get swollen, and her hair fall out in clumps. Yikes! That's not good, is it?

To make matters worse, Hayden was also suffering from sleep deprivation, which affected her ability to sleep, her motor skills, and her overall health. But don't worry, folks - Hayden got the help she needed and went into treatment two years later. Now, she's been sober for two years and is feeling grateful to be alive and part of this world again.

Hayden also talked about how her addiction started when she was given "happy pills" at the young age of 15, and how drugs and alcohol almost became something she couldn't live without. But she's come a long way since then, and she's learned to never take her health for granted. Let's all give Hayden a round of applause for being brave enough to share her story and for getting the help she needed.Read the full article here: Click this link

🎯 Mobilize Recovery Teams Up with iHeartMedia and Meta to End Overdose Crisis in America!

Did you know that there's a group called Mobilize Recovery that helps people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol? It's true! And they've just announced their 2023 campaign to support the 23 million Americans who are in long-term recovery. To do this, they've teamed up with two big companies - iHeartMedia and Meta - to spread the word about their mission and help people get the help they need.

iHeartMedia is a big radio company that will be broadcasting messages of support and resources for people seeking help. And Meta (the parent company of Facebook) is a will be providing support and resources for those in recovery, as well as helping to break the stigma around addiction.

But here's the catch, if you want to attend their events in person, you have to apply to be accepted. They've grown so much that they can't fit everyone who wants to go! But don't worry, there will be plenty of ways to participate online as well.

It's great to see big companies like iHeartMedia and Meta teaming up to help people in recovery. Hopefully, with their help, more people will be able to get the support they need to overcome addiction.

🎯Medicating Prisoners Against Addiction: A Life-Saving Solution to Overdose Deaths!

Did you know that giving anti-addiction medication to prisoners can reduce overdose deaths later? It's true! A new study has found that providing medications for opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, to prisoners can save lives and is more cost-effective. Dr. Avik Chatterjee, the study's author, said that offering all three medications is the most effective way to save lives. He hopes that the study will encourage policymakers at the state and federal levels to require treating opioid use disorder with medications among people who are incarcerated.

The study found that offering naltrexone at release led to over 10,400 additional treatment starts and 40 fewer overdose deaths in five years. Offering all three medications at intake led to almost 12,000 additional treatment starts and 83 fewer overdose deaths. Overall, the all-medication strategy averted 192 overdose deaths, which is a 1.8% decrease in state-level overdose mortality.

Drug overdoses kill over 100,000 people in the US each year, so it's important to find ways to prevent them. Who knew that providing medication to prisoners could help save lives?
