In Our Hands: The Fight for Recovery in the Age of Opioids and Beyond

Opioid recovery is shaped by policy, healthcare capacity, and community responses, not just individual willpower. The book frames recovery as a long term social and public health project, connecting treatment access, harm reduction, and criminal justice realities to what recovery can realistically mean for families and communities. It situates the overdose era within broader historical and institutional patterns, emphasizing why sustained investment and practical systems change matter as much as medical interventions in reducing mortality and improving outcomes.
