Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America by Beth Macy

3.0

Dopesick provides a compelling look at the opioid crisis, particularly its devastating impact on communities in Appalachia. However, the book sometimes leans too heavily on policing as a solution to substance abuse disorder, missing opportunities to question perspectives or present diverse viewpoints. The structure felt somewhat disjointed, with the final section lacking the setup needed to present a convincing case for alternative approaches.
