Overdose Awareness Day: Person in Recovery Helping Others (Short Version)
Jean Jones knows what it is like to be homeless and addicted to drugs. For years she battled her own addiction to heroin, living on the streets and hitting rock bottom, looking for a reason to go into recovery.

In this video, she shares her story of recovery – how she found it at the Denver Health Center for Addiction Medicine and how having a daughter convinced her to finally get the help that she needed.

Jones is now the Adams County Chapter Lead for Young People in Recovery and shared her story as a message to help those battling addiction as part of Overdose Awareness Day. She describes the current rise in overdose deaths in Colorado (555 from January-May of 2020) as both a crisis and an epidemic.
