Do you know an addict first hand? Talk about it if you wish.

[GusBob]

18. I lived and worked on an NDN Rez for over 6 years

I knew too many addicts. Every man woman and child is co dependent to some form of addiction.

The day before I left, 2 of my patients, meth addicts both, were gunned down in a targeted cartel shooting. I could tell a million stories and have heard many sad tales

Am working for another rural tribe and addiction is an issue across the county and cultures here too. I dont live on this Rez so its not in my face 24/7.


The problem now is addicts are getting busted and sent to jail and not getting treatment. They get dope sick in jail and then clean. When they get out their tolerance is down and most of the overdose deaths are within 2 weeks of release
