- Length: 30 seconds
On-screen text: Prescription opioids can be addictive and dangerous.
Brenda: We were driving to the supermarket, and as we entered the parking lot, a car ran a stop sign and completely t-boned us. When I was first prescribed my prescription pain meds, there was nobody to tell me that these have a really high potential for addiction.
Audio description: Brenda looks at a picture of her and her son together.
Brenda: How can I be addicted? I get these from my doctor. It kills your soul and it makes you feel worthless.
