Sam's path to substance use disorder did not start all at once. In Part 2, he shows how little separates a kid from someone sentenced to jail, and it is in jail that he tries fentanyl for the first time and overdoses. How does fentanyl get inside a jail, and what did he do after? This is his story, told so others can see that this can happen to anyone.
