The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain (Foreword by Lisa Marie Presley) shares the story of Harry Nelson?s deep dive into opioid crisis response. The book lays out an essential understanding of the interwoven crises of pain, addiction, and overdose deaths ? and the first comprehensive plan for addressing the crisis at both a policy and grassroots level. As the leading healthcare lawyer in California, Harry Nelson got the same call in the aftermath of nearly every celebrity overdose of the past decade. From Michael Jackson to Anna Nicole Smith to Whitney Houston to Prince, doctors worried about prescribing practices and standards in addiction treatment and medical care turn to him for guidance. As the opioid crisis turned overdoses and suicides into daily occurrences, Harry turned one safety disaster after another into a learning opportunity out of which safer, better care emerged ? earning the respect and confidence of federal and state regulators. In The United States of Opioids, Nelson distills out key insights that have been overlooked, including the hidden crisis of suicidality (1 in 5 overdose deaths) and the link between chronic pain (affecting 1 in 5 adults in America) and addiction (affection 1 in 12). In the words of Lisa Marie Presley, "Harry has written a powerful book[,] that is a call to action and tangible steps that we can all take. Harry delivers insights into the challenges facing our health system?doctors, hospitals, and addiction treatment providers?but also offers steps that we can all take as parents and with everyone else in our lives. This message is essential and timely."
