10.04.2015 The Silence Ends
I’m tired of seeing my brothers and sisters die. I’m tired of people treating addiction like it’s a moral issue and not a health issue. I’m tired of people going to jail when they should be going to treatment OR when they get out of jail they are thrown right back into the same environment that they were in before. There isn’t enough detox beds, there isn’t enough free treatment, there isn’t enough sober living environments. I’m tired of first responders not being equipped with a $33 opiate blocking drug that can save someone from overdosing and dying. It’s time to change things!
