This book pulls back the curtain on a little-known truth: most opioid addictions begin with a legal prescription. Mike Vasquez, a pioneer in healthcare AI and addiction treatment, makes the case for prevention as the only scalable long-term solution.

Drawing on decades of experience, Vasquez reveals how counties can use artificial intelligence to detect risk early—before addiction starts—and correct prescribing at the root.

75% of people entering treatment began with a valid prescription from their doctor.

Instead of waiting for overdoses and ER visits, the book shows how data-driven prevention can help counties use their opioid settlement funds to make a measurable, lasting impact—no patient identification required.

If you’re a county commissioner looking for real results, real fast—this isn’t just a book.
