Sophia Khan, a 28-year-old high school...
Sophia Khan, a 28-year-old high school teacher, grew up in a family where prescription painkillers were normalized after her mother's chronic back issues. Following a minor car accident two years ago, her own legitimate prescription for oxycodone spiraled into dependency. She began experiencing intense cravings, financial strain from purchasing pills illicitly, and was calling in sick frequently due to withdrawal. Her primary care physician in Internal Medicine, Dr. Chen, noticed the pattern during a visit for anxiety. He recommended a structured outpatient Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program, combining buprenorphine therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy. The first month was grueling; Sophia felt judged and wrestled with shame. Regular check-ins with Dr. Chen, who focused on her health rather than morality, were crucial. After six months, stabilized on medication and engaged in therapy, she returned to work full-time and reconnected with her family. Her emotional journey moved from isolated shame and fear of losing her career to a cautious hope and pride in reclaiming her life, one day at a time.
