“Sister Wives” alum Christine Brown developed an “absolutely devastating” addiction to oxycodone following an injury and subsequent surgery.

Brown, 53, detailed her past reliance on the opioid in her new memoir, “Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family and Finding Freedom.”

“Just before Maddie and Caleb got married [in 2016], I blew out my knee. I tore my ACL and my meniscus, and I had to have surgery. [My husband at the time] Kody [Brown] brought me home from the hospital and then prepared to leave,” she wrote, according to People .

“‘What do I need to do?’ I asked, wondering about meds and aftercare. ‘I don’t know,’ he said. ‘They didn’t give you any instructions?’ ‘No,’ he said. But he had gotten my prescription for pain pills filled, and he handed me the bag.”
