Fatal overdoses have soared in recent years, and while opioids are a big factor, they are not the only reason for the increase.
An organization in Rochester called Sobriety Sounds aims to give people suffering from addiction a chance to thrive. The origin story is a tragic one: founder Matthew Hoye remembers kneeling at a coffin and wondering if music could have prevented a friend's death; now, he’s working to create musical spaces that are safe and accessible to others – both now and in the future.
We discuss it all with guests from Sobriety Sounds.
