Facing Fentanyl: Stories From The Opioid Crisis

Real stories from people who used fentanyl, and the hope of long-term recovery.

About the show

Facing Fentanyl is a podcast of interviews with people who used fentanyl: their experiences and, most of all, the lessons that led them out. Most stories run across several episodes, from how substance use started to what recovery looks like, told in the guest's own words. Guests are identified by first name.

The show is intentionally honest and includes content about substance use, overdose, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For treatment referrals, call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357. These are personal stories, not medical advice.

Who this show is for

  • You want to understand the fentanyl crisis beyond headlines — through people actually living it.
  • You work in behavioral health or recovery and want to hear lived experience in the words of the people who lived it.
  • You're in early recovery or supporting someone who is and want honest voices to listen to.
  • You teach, write, or report on the opioid epidemic and need source material from first-person narrators.
