Dopesick Nation season 1 episode 4, titled "Warrior Down," follows recovering addict Frankie and his partner Allie as they try to help their friend Matt, a former Marine who is struggling with addiction and PTSD. Matt has isolated himself in his apartment and refuses to leave or seek help, even as his health rapidly deteriorates.

Frankie and Allie visit Matt regularly, bringing him food and trying to convince him to go to detox. As they talk with him, they learn about the trauma Matt experienced in Iraq and the difficulties he's faced returning to civilian life. They also witness the toll that addiction has taken on his physical and mental health.

Meanwhile, Frankie and Allie also continue to navigate their own paths to recovery. Frankie struggles with resentment towards his past drug use and the damage it's caused in his life, while Allie faces challenges balancing her sobriety with her responsibilities to her young daughter.

Throughout the episode, the theme of brotherhood and support among those in recovery is highlighted. Frankie and Allie discuss the importance of their own support system and how they hope to provide the same kind of support for Matt. They also attend a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, where they share their experiences and offer words of encouragement to others in the group.

As the episode progresses, the situation with Matt grows more urgent. His health declines rapidly and he becomes increasingly difficult to contact. Frankie and Allie fear the worst and consider calling emergency services, but ultimately decide to continue trying to reach Matt themselves.

"Warrior Down" is a raw and emotional episode that sheds light on the complex struggles of addiction and mental health, particularly among those who have served in the military. The episode offers a poignant look at the strength and resilience of those in recovery, as well as the challenges they face in supporting others who are also fighting to overcome addiction.
