Heroin Highway

Heroin Highway

S1 E3: Heroin abuse in Chicago's affluent suburbs is reaching epidemic proportions, and the area's Eisenhower Expressway has become known as the "Heroin Highway" for all the smack that flows through it. We look at the lives of four addicts who have been caught up in clutches of what is increasingly a middle class nightmare: Susan, a young mother who drives into the city at night to buy heroin; Kesha, who's newly sober but dealing with the wreckage that years of addiction have caused; Josh, who's checked into detox for what he hopes is the last time; and Matt, who's struggling to stay clean while waiting for a bed in a halfway house.
