He’s going to die the exact way he promised his mother he wouldn’t, from a Heroin/Fentanyl overdose. IF he doesnt get sober that is.
He is a smart, charming, handsome 35 year old single father to a beautiful 5 year old boy that adores him and deserves to grow up with a father.
He has demons though. A proverbial monkey he just can’t seem to shake off his back for good. No matter how many detox centers and rehab facilities it just hasn’t stuck…yet.
According to statistics an addict will to try and fail at staying clean and sober 13 times on average until something finally clicks. This will be attempt number 13 for him.
He was sooooo excited when he called me today to tell me about a brand new non-narcotic, FDA approved, medical assisted opioid detoxification treatment that is working miracles according to everyone he’d talked to. Then he found out the price, and since it’s so new it’s not covered by insurance companies yet.
It’s called Sparrow Ascent, and it’s $4500! It’s a small machine of some sort, connected to an earpiece of some sort, that uses electrical currents of some sort, that stimulate two different nerves of some sort inside of your brain. This electrical stimulation then causes those nerves to produce their own endorphins that then occupy the opioid receptors and produce dopamine, effectively eliminating withdrawal symptoms completely in 84% of patients within 60 minutes according to recent clinical trials!
The $10,000 would pay for the device, out of pocket expenses related to the treatment such as copays and travel if necessary, as well as help cover some peripheral expenses as he plans on completing an inpatient treatment center as well which will obviously impede his ability to provide financially. I’ll link the website below if you want to check it out.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out, I hope you find it within yourself to donate to if at all possible! Sharing of this would be greatly appreciated as well!
Please help my best friend save his own life.
