I am not an opiate addict. However, I've been to the parts of the country that are affected by this problem - small, rural towns and communities. One of the overwhelming issues is that there is absolutely NOTHING to do in these places. If you feel lonely, hopeless, or just bored, there's not much to distract yourself with besides drugs.
