Ep 7. Peter and Renee

Peter and Renee are a couple who has been struggling with their addiction to opioids. They are both in their mid-20s and have been using drugs for a few years. Peter initially had a back injury and was prescribed pain medication, which eventually led to his addiction to opioids.

The couple lives in a small apartment in a low-income area, and their drug use has taken a toll on their relationship. They constantly argue and fight, with Peter sometimes resorting to violence. They have lost their jobs and are deep in debt, with no family or friends to turn to for support.
