Philadelphia's Kensington Avenue was once a thriving area; now it is infamous for drug abuse and prostitution, and it is a disturbing case study of the opioid epidemic facing the US. According to the US Government's Health and Human Services Department, among new heroin users, approximately three out of four report having abused prescription opioids prior to using heroin. Photographer Jeffrey Stockbridge documents the lives of avenue's residents. He told Dan Damon how he was trying to challenge the stigma of drug abuse and homelessness with his project, 'Kensington Blues'.
