Southborough Youth and Family Services welcome you to join us for a conversation with pediatrician Dr. Safdar Medina who will introduce us to Cole, a young man in recovery for opioid addiction. Cole has struggled with substance use since his early teenage years. He will share his journey from the stages of experimentation and self-medication with gateway drugs to a crippling opioid addiction. He will describe life on the street and facing death and his challenging road to recovery. Now a young adult, Cole is working and celebrating eight months of sobriety.
