Over 100,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses in the past year — more than the number of deaths caused by vehicle crashes and gun violence combined.
After nearly losing her life to illicit drugs, a music program for addicts helped 28-year-old Abby Aposporos learn to live again. Growing up, Aposporos was a star athlete, and she went on to play soccer at a Division III college.
But, sports-related injuries forced her to undergo 11 surgeries, which led her to opiates."I was introduced to opiates at, like, a very, very young age from all my injuries," she said. "Honestly, like, 8 years old ... just from being hurt and stuff like that." — more than the number of deaths caused by vehicle crashes and gun violence combined.
"We're using music as a way to get to people that it hits them in their heart," Recovery Unplugged's Executive Director David Engwall told CBS News.
