Tele: I started using when I was 13.

Narrator: Tele is in recovery from an addiction to prescription opioids.

Tele: It was like, oh, well, they’re medications, they can’t be that dangerous. My perception was once you stop using, like, that’s it. Your life is over. I didn’t even realize that I needed help until the day that I got arrested. I have been able to accomplish a lot in my recovery. I just want to be happy. And I want to thrive in my life.

Narrator: If you or someone you know is struggling, there is hope. Recovery is possible. Visit cdc.gov/RxAwareness.
