March 26, 2025 – This alarming trend is personal for one Billings woman, Dawn Carter, who is now making the most of her second chance at life after surviving an overdose. Carter’s journey has been one of overcoming severe addiction, which began with prescription pain pills she would take from her mother who had cancer. Three years into pill seeking, she transitioned to heroin. “At that time, the biggest priority was just getting high with whatever was in front of me,” she said on Wednesday. “Was refilling prescriptions of my mom’s that weren’t even my own and then it went to just hardcore pill-seeking constantly.”
For years, Carter was trapped in the cycle of addiction, often living from hotel to hotel and resorting to theft to support her habit.
