The 911 call made by the sober home reveals the desperate situation during the overdose attempt, illustrating the systemic issues surrounding addiction treatment facilities and the perils of substance abuse. Emmanuel's story is a poignant reminder of the dire consequences of addiction.
"After about seven minutes and two more rounds of Narcan, the wail of sirens are finally heard. The first dispatcher shares the address on Normandie Avenue in Los Angeles. Sober living house, the first dispatcher says, but possibly not sober today."
"Emmanuel Mitchell struggled with Percocet but was intent on finally getting well. He was saying he wanted to make a difference, his mom, Rosalind Savoid, said. He said, I want to beat this so I can help other people for real."
