This video illustrates the hardships that single mother Jane struggles with after being prescribed opioids. Throughout the rest of the video we tackle and try to uncover the answers to the following questions. What is it like to be an opioid addict? What causes this addiction? What are the current treatments? How can I help?

This video was created by Alexandra Marques, Armin Sariaslani, and Emilyanne Stocks in collaboration with McMaster Demystifying Medicine students.
