Know the Truth: Rebekkah's Story--Opioids

Subject Area

Overview

This free video resource comes from Truth.com. When Rebekkah was 14, she blew out her ankle during cheerleading practice and was prescribed opioid painkiller pills. Instead of getting better, she quickly found herself addicted to powerful opioids and eventually turned to heroin. She had been an accomplished dancer and athlete, and that was lost when her addiction took over her life and self-image. Now Rebekkah is regaining control of both—courageously making her detox public in order to help other people while she works towards a new start.

This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
