Steve zachary spoke with people who are fighting to break the cycle of addiction. In the United States in the 60s and 70s, we had a severe heroin epidemic. Concentrated in inner city nonwhite communities. In the new york area, it was east harlem, south bronx, central brooklyn. This epidemic is very different. This epidemic is dis disproportionately white, suburban and rural. Reporter this is not the block exploitation films of the past. Im off 124th in harlem. Im trying to find someone who can give me a better understanding of how heroin has changed over the last 40 years. About 10 years ago, i crashed my vertebrae in a bad car accident. My doctor got me hooked on oxy 30s. My wife started dabbling in my medication. Got her hooked on them. To get her off them, i didnt know what to do because the next dope. Reporter i find matthew and two friends outside of a methadone clinic. Theyre late. The center is closed. One is crying because they need their fix. They are the new face of heroin addiction. In our area, they come from places like Staten Island, new jersey, and westchester. Matthew is from long island. Safe, white picket fence, suburban, maybe even privileged. He tells me family connections got him a job making 20,000 a month on wall street. Then his life unravelled into chaos. The reason that we started to prescribe so aggressively is that we were responding to a brilliant marketing campaign. Reporter this doctor is the chief medical officer of Phoenix House and executive director of physicians for responsible opioid prescribing. What im saying is that this epidemic has been caused by the medical community overprescribing pain medicine. Reporter you say the doctors are responsible for getting you hooked on dope . Prescription pills, without a doubt, they said what do you want. I told them and they gave me. Then i started doing both. The pills werent working. Reporter as the color of heroin addiction has changed, so have the treatment options. They start off by saying we cant arrest our way out of this epidemic. What were hearing now is a call for expanded access to treatment, a recognition that addiction is not a moral failing, but a disease that needs treatment. Reporter despite the birth of twin boys and attempts to get clean, his story is one of tragedy. My wife never returned home that night. One bag of dope and one xanax pill after eight months of being clean is all it took and it killed her. Reporter the new pusherman is the pharmaceutical companies. Theyre the winners.

You cant survive in the fight game unless you are a tough guy and teddy is plenty tough. He survives in the hurt business and thrives in it. You know what made Evander Holifield so good . He was always here or here. When it comes to helping others survive, he has great thats why 20 years ago he created the dr. Theodore Atlas Foundation named after his late father who took care of patients free of charge for 55 years because, as the doc would say, they needed to be taken care of. I started out the foundation where we were helping people falling through the cracks, people that couldnt get help. A single mom thats working two jobs. Shes got four kids. Her utilities are being shut off. They shouldnt be. We make sure theyre not shut off. There you go. A thousand percent better. He operates three gyms taking care of kids inside the ring. Hey, guys. Russ he makes sure to reach those and teach those outside of it. Like children at ps 373r in Staten Island with special needs. Real special people that can lead, that can show examples. Its a great gift if you can and they can follow you in a good way. I think you guys are the kind of people that can do that. You agree with me . You can be readers. We know were cared about. Someone from outside of our school cares about us and our kids. Hes invaluable to us as a resource. And i think he boosts everyones selfesteem, knowing a man like that is there to give to us and be our friend. Russ never forgetting where he came from, he wont leave his roots in Staten Island. How important is he to the community . Just ask the borough president , james otto. A student of the human spirit and human condition and a guy who gives more to this community than just about anyone, and when youve exhausted all other avenues for help and youre really at the end of your rope, thats when we go to teddy and the foundation and time after time, they are there. People that i care about. Youve got to show them that you care about them. Russ its ironic. While he makes his living in the hurt business, the foundation is in the business of healing. The most important thing is we dont let people lose more than theyve lost. We dont let them lose their dignity, their pride. We met a few times. Russ when it comes to hometown pride, all of Staten Island can be proud of their resident tough guy, teddy atlas. You see them. They tell you keep up the good work and they tell you we watch you and they tell you were proud of you. And thats awful gracious of them. They dont have to say that. In turn, you want to make them feel good. You dont want to let them down. You know why were stronger . We help other people. Theres only so much you can do for yourself. But if you care about other people, it makes you even do a little more to take care of other people. So youve got to be better. Russ he makes it simple. Dont let people lose more than theyve lost. Dont let them lose their dignity. Theres only so much you can do for yourself. If you care about other people, it makes you even stronger. Id have to say that teddy atlas is made of the right stuff.
