Ryan Hampton
Ryan Hampton is much more than a policy expert or a media commentator, he is a survivor who has turned his own ten year battle with opioid addiction into a mission of national significance. After years of navigating the darkest corners of the overdose crisis, Ryan emerged with a profound sense of purpose. As an alumnus of the Clinton White House, he possesses a rare perspective, the ability to understand the complex machinery of government while never forgetting the human faces of those still struggling on the front lines. His journey is one of radical transformation, moving from the depths of a decade-long addiction to becoming one of the most powerful and influential voices in American drug policy reform.
Beyond the headlines and high-level collaborations, Ryan is a person driven by a fierce commitment to transparency and hope. He understands that the shame often associated with addiction is a primary barrier to healing, and he uses his platform to dismantle those stigmas. Whether he is authoring books or working with national non-profits, Ryan’s personal philosophy is rooted in the belief that recovery should be visible, accessible, and celebrated. He is dedicated to ensuring that no one has to walk the path to wellness alone, bringing a grounded, walked the walk authenticity to every campaign he leads and every life he touches.

Reviews
“Having experienced the tragic loss of my son to an opioid overdose, and having worked ever since to find ways to bring an end to the opioid addiction crisis, I didn't think there was much I could learn from reading another book on the subject. But I was wrong. Ryan Hampton has written a book that tells an amazing and hopeful story while giving clear direction on what needs to be done. An engrossing read, American Fix is a must for those of us close to the epidemic, and a manual for those wanting to learn how we got where we are and what we can do about it.”- Judy on Ryan Hampton's Book, American Fix.
"You know what I like about Ryan Hampton? He don't sugar coat nothin'! This book is disheartening and infuriating! One can only hope that someday, somehow through all of these horrible, painful lessons learned, that the system can be reformed. One piece at a time, one loophole at a time...I also appreciate the time and care he took to display all the facts, and explain them in a way that lay people can understand.”- Jason on Ryan Hampton's Book, Unsettled.
"This is by far the best book about addiction I have ever read (there have been many). It is very informative, but even more so, the author is such a brilliant writer that I suddenly could truly understand, practically feel, what my dear loved one was feeling. My understanding of it all is significantly better, deeper, than it was before and I am much more able to offer a more understanding sort of kind, loving emotional support. Thank you Ryan. You have made a difference in my life, and I’m sure many others."- Michele on Ryan Hampton's Book, American Fix.
