[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the book "Dreamland." It really lays out the perfect storm that created this problem in America -- the overprescribing of pain medications, the pill mills, and the cheap black tar heroin coming in from Mexico and specifically being targeted to white, middle-income communities (not the big cities).

Luckily I haven't had this problem in my family, but one of the things that really stuck with me is how an addict is not "well" once they get home from rehab. It really takes about a year for the brain to heal itself and learn how to function without the morphine molecule controlling it.

I think if this happened to one of my children I would stick to him like glue for a solid year after rehab. Anything else -- school, college, sports -- can wait. Or you really could be like most addicts, going through a cycle that only ends with prison or death.[/quote]

Of course personal responsibility is only a factor when 'others' are concerned . Pill mills, Mexico, over prescription blah blah blah [/quote]
