An Epidemic

The tragedy of mounting opioid addiction deaths has risen to epidemic proportion.  People are dying by the hundreds daily, especially kids, after experimenting with some of the most powerful and addictive drugs we’ve ever seen.  But recreational use and experimentation are only part of a widespread problem.  A greater, more profound complication is the rampant use of opioids via prescription for pain by those who've been overtaken by it's addictive properties.  Our traditional methods of addressing this problem are failing us.  A new approach is needed.
