A Salt Lake man is sharing his story of overcoming opioid use and how Intermountain Health's outpatient program helped him.
"I was in a really deep hole and I never thought I would get out of it to be fair," Jackson Peck said.
"He prescribed me a medicine that a lot of athletes were on at the time," he said. "It was supposed to be non-habit forming.""It felt like I had the flu, and my skin was on fire like an itch, but I wasn't able to itch it," he said. "I couldn't leave my kids, and not being able to provide for my family, it was too much, the thought of that was probably worse," Peck said.
"It's kind of like a part-time job, dedicating a lot of hours figuring out why this pattern of substance use is happening, and where it came from," Hansen said.
