- In partnership with our excellent producer, Bobby Jaynick, Behavioral Health Services of Pickens County releases "Invisible Enemy" a documentary on how fentanyl is affecting Pickens County, South Carolina. Hear from local moms who lost their sons and BHSPC employees as they dive into what we're trying to do to combat this epidemic locally.
I've watched a lot of drug documentaries but this one full on hit me in the heart. I cried most the way through it. God Bless all those poor families.
Thank you for your kind words! We made this in hopes of bringing light to the tragedies these families experience. We appreciate you watching!
As a filmmaker, this is a HUGE compliment! All of these people were so brave to come forward and share their stories and I just pray that this film wakes people (namely our youth) up to the dangers of substance use so that their stories can stop ending so abruptly.
this was a good documentary except for the background music that drowned out the dialogue.
Thank you for the feedback!
Excellent doc! ❤ The music is beautiful, but a little too loud.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you watching!
Grief therapy. Go ahead and cry ladies, let your heart cry.
lost my younger brother to fentanyl overdose. my heart goes out to all those affected by the demon of dependency.
So sorry for your loss!
great program but the music is a bit much and is distracting
It’s annoying!
Jonathan's mum broke me! You know she is a beautiful human being just by the job she does. I pray she finds a little bit of peace ❤
Thank you for your kind words! We made this in hopes of bringing light to the tragedies these families experience. Cindy is such a kind soul. We appreciate you watching!
ADDICTS DO NOT, DO NOT WANT TO BE AN ADDICT!!!!! 🧐🧐🧐🧐
What music do u hear?
Lost my 46 year old son on February 23rd of this year to fentanyl and morphine overdose thst was in whatever he took. I am angry that people woukd give this to people knowing it would kill them
My boyfriend of 30 years died from fentanyl in 2022. He was very mean in the end. Addicted to heroin for 32 years. I didn't know it when I met him but by the time I found out I was emotionally attached and thought I could help him. You can't help a drug addict they have to want it. My daughter is the one affected by it in a bad way. I saw it coming. I told him you're dying Gary. And 2 weeks later he was gone. He was a functioning addict. I guess that's why he made it so long. Never missed a day of work. He was a good man in his heart. Once this fentanyl came around I knew it would get him and it did. Very sad. His autopsy came up endocarditis due to shooting up.
So sorry to hear this! Addiction is a dark disease!
Is this not actually poisoning? That's murder!😮
Many states are enacting drug-induced homicide laws to charge dealers with deaths. South Carolina is working on one here that is close to passing.
I can’t hear music. Honest
I keep hearing…”nobody chooses this”… well… yes they have…from the first cigarette, MJ, pill…experimenting is the first CHOSEN step
They may have chosen to start but they do not choose a counterfeit substance laced with fentanyl.
Why can't they just stick to having a beer?
Are you a Community Service Board?
Hi Laura! BHSPC is a private, non-profit organization that works with individuals who have substance use disorder or other behavioral health issues. If you'd like to learn more about what we do you can go to our website www.bhspickens.com
The sound editing is terrible. I watched about 14 minutes, and just when my ears would settle from the previous loud music, as tje scen changed, it would start again with the next scene's loud competing music. You might as well have interviewed these people in a loud, obnoxious bar.
There's no way I'd recommend this to anyone to watch because of the sound. The aound engineer needs to fix this.
Thank you for your feedback!
Emergency guy who said he went to a house 4 times to give narcam to the same person
This is the case in many places. Fentanyl has a very strong hook for addiction and a small therapeutic index (meaning that it does not take much at all for it to have its intended effect) so if an individual is not passing away then it's likely that they will continue to seek fentanyl, and unfortunately will continue to overdose.
@@bhspcAnd now they’re adding another chemical to street drugs that offset the effects of Narcan, so we can’t bring ODs back! If this were about the money, the producers of these drugs wouldn’t be intentionally killing off our mostly young men by increasing the strength and resistant to countermeasures. This is an attack!
There is no such thing as experimentation anymore weed is not safe and we know that’s the #1 thing the majority of people start with.
Unfortunately, this is very true.
You're saying cannabis is a gateway drug?
@@sirjames7800 As an example, we recently had a case of marijuana seizure in our area sprinkled with fentanyl powder--making it unsafe.
Weed is safe from dispensary
@@elisabethfinn6702 here in South Carolina where we are located, it is still illegal.
No such thing as laced weed. You cant freebase opiates straight off the flame like that. Its why you see users with foil under it and a lighter away from the foil. Its like saying you can snort pot
Not true. What about k2?
As someone who nearly died from weed laced with PCP. I can definitely tell you that is a lie. People put crack with weed and dip weed in all kinds of liquid drugs to modify the High which would make it laced.
I've smoked black tar heroin shoved in a cigarette many times. If you can smoke it like that, I'm sure you could smoke it in a joint. You would know heroin is in it, at least black tar, I've never done the white heroin but you can definitely smoke that via combustion. So your little Ted talk is bullshit.
I can't deal with the Bible crap
We understand that it is not for everyone, but for the moms in this video that is how they dealt with losing their sons. And many others out there cope in the same way so that's why we left it in the film. How someone chooses to cope with loss is up to them :) Thank you for the feedback!
@@bhspcThat part I understand. I guess the point I'm making is that I think the religious stuff plays a role in the development of addictions - as does any ideology - overemphasis on ethnicity, politics, religion, gender roles, military/police, patriotism - it's the rigidity and the perfectionism that function as a set-up in the lives of developing young people. It's just my experience. I've been an MSW for 41 years.
@@bhspc And I didn't mean to minimize the excellent work you're doing. I recently heard a counsellor say to a parent "Your son just needs to hit bottom." "Hit bottom?" I said. "That's a phrase we used 20-40 years ago to describe things getting worse. Today 'bottom' means "dead."" As you point out, you can't get it wrong today - not even once. That wasn't true when I was growing up. It's a very different world - and it's impossible to even do enough public education.
@@ted1091 Thank you very much for your feedback! Living in the Bible belt can be tough for sure. We really appreciate you watching, and providing us with valuable information that we can take moving forward with other projects.
