From the article:
. . . Without a doubt, countless thousands have had their lives saved with a dose of naloxone. But then what? Reports from the front lines make clear that reviving an overdosed patient does not lead the patient to suddenly seek a sober lifestyle. Furthermore, the widespread availability of this antidote has made many addicts feel invincible . . .
Same shit is happening in the small town an hour north of me. Same problem is going on in West Virginia.
But the ignorant right wants to point to urban settings. Nebraska does not have huge cities.
I hear stories here in my county about how funding is needed for antidotes for opiate overdose. I live in the sticks.
But hey, the rich love desperation, great for profits.
