The opioid dependency problem is both infuriating & so sad.
I worked with that population professionally for a few years. All but 2 or 3, out of at least a few thousand clients, were hooked by doctors. 12 mos of rxs, then abruptly cut off, with no warning as to what they would experience! 
It all started in the region of Appalacia where I was working because the furniture mill jobs were outsourced & people lost hope over time. 😓🤬
Makes perfect sense to me that people group together that way because, contrary to popular opinion, like does attract like. 😉
Ty again for sharing!
