Behind The Badge: A Guide To Surviving Opioid Addiction with author Scott Fleuter

Behind The Badge: A Guide To Surviving Opioid Addiction with author Scott Fleuter

Monday March 16th 7:00 to 8:00 pm

Scott Fleuter had it all. A successful career, a perfect marriage, and great kids. Then he plummeted from a police chief at the top of his game to a hopeless addict chewing opioid meds to chase the high and stave off withdrawals.

Take a shocking, and sometimes darkly funny, journey through Scott’s life of trauma, addiction, recovery, and hope. Witness his reckless childhood go from Norman Rockwell to Lord of the Flies. Enter the violent world of police work, where multiple injuries lead to his spiral into addiction and depression.

Experience an unflinchingly honest roller coaster ride of shame as he wanders the freezing halls of a detox center clad only in a backless hospital gown, or lines up for the daily pee test at a 90-day drug rehab.

Learn the lessons embedded in Scott’s life story as seen through the lens of a fictional psychologist.

Benefit from practical tips and techniques that helped Scott endure drug withdrawals, crippling panic attacks, and severe depression.
