    Reporter Lauren Chooljian starts getting tips about the founder of New Hampshire’s largest addiction treatment network.

The tips send Lauren on a journey deep into the addiction treatment industry, which, as one source says, “needs a #MeToo movement.” The 13th Step is a production of New Hampshire Public Radio’s Document team, coming June 6th.
