PUBLISHED AUG 30, 2018

​Viceland has a new show to leave your minds blown this coming September. Titled 'Dopesick Nation,' the name itself paves the way to assume that this will be a show about drugs. Or at least portray the usage of drugs. But what the show also promises is a seemingly gruesome reality and the harsh truths about contemporary America, riddled with addiction. Say hello to Frank and Allie, who are here to give you a glimpse into the heartbreaking, painful, and authentic stories of addiction that the series reveals.

Premiering on Wednesday, September 12 at 10:00 PM ET/PT, the emotionally raw show takes viewers through the journey of the people with addiction that Frank and Allie try to help this season. It also offers them a preview of the events and obstacles they encounter on their journey. These are the very real faces of the opioid crisis that is taking over our nation.
