It hasn’t been an easy road for Teen Mom OG alum Mackenzie Edwards. Marrying Ryan Edwards and his drug habit is difficult. In addition, Ryan was in rehab at the end of 2018. The most recent stint ended just before the holidays. Maci Bookout’s former beau spent time with his family upon his release.
That said, things always seem to be on a knife’s edge regarding Ryan and his ongoing battle with addiction. Following his latest stint in rehab, wife Mackenzie spoke out on the opioid crisis and opioid-related fatalities.
Mackenzie Edwards took to her Instagram story to share statistics on the opioid crisis with her fans and followers. In Touch Weekly notes her thoughts on the matter. It seems she wants to convey the fact that anyone can become an addict. Moreover, there’s the notion that anyone can become dependent on things like prescription pills. Even when prescribed, the Teen Mom OG notes that it “does not discriminate.”
