If you love me

The founder of the Magnolia New Beginnings nonprofit peer-support group shares the story of her confrontation with the opioid epidemic in the wake of her daughter's sudden and brutal battle with substance abuse. When Maureen and her ex-husband Mike see their daughter Katie's needle track marks for the first time, it is a complete shock. The opioid use explains everything-- and as they get her into detox, Maureen hopes that in 48 hours she'll have her daughter back. Maureen learns that recovery is neither straightforward nor brief, and is launched into the shadowy world of overcrowded, for-profit rehabilitation centers that often prey on worried parents. As she becomes an expert on getting others into detox and treatment centers, Maureen remains powerless to save her own daughter. -- adapted from jacket.
