Watch For the Hook
Fabian Williams with Dr. Mara Schenker
Pharmaceutically produced opioids are regularly prescribed for pain management. However, these drugs are often the source of abuse in both prescribed and non-prescribed settings. Watch For the Hook attempts to examine the booby trap of addiction not so subtly hidden in prescription medicine in the United States.
