Treating heroin addiction
Some of the images in this report are disturbing to watch.
Tracey Helton Mitchell is a self-described suburban mom raising three young children. But 15 years ago she was a junkie living on the streets of San Francisco. At thetime she said she fully expected to die of an overdose. She allowed herself to be filmed for a documentary called "Black Tar Heroin." Anderson takes a look at that film and speaks to Tracey about how her life has changed.
Anderson spoke with Dr. Drew Pinsky about the challenges of treating patients addicted to heroin.
