The opiate crisis is finally getting the recognition it should. It destroys families, increases crime, and causes heartbreak. People in all socioeconomic groups legally and illegally obtain and use these drugs. I cry when I hear about deaths that should have never happened. I weep when babies are born addicted. I mourn when I read about families forever destroyed by the loss of a teenager or young adult.
