Maryland state officials call it a grim trend: 920 fatal opioid overdoses in just the first six months of this year.
Nick Nowack is about to undergo a life-changing procedure to treat his opioid addiction. Nowak’s descent into hell started in his early 20s, the way it has for so many others.
"I got rear-ended and was prescribed Percocet," Nowack said. "I went from taking them for back pain to just thinking, ’Oh, when I take them, it makes me feel good, extra energized.’ Then (I would) take some more."
Things snowballed out of control over the next several years until he got himself into treatment.

How about parents rearing children that illegal drug use is wrong!!! Duh this is unheard of isn't it??? Dead beat parents, low income and the more affluent families loose touch, communication suffers... Children are the loosers. So we plan on their failure with these products! It's a sad world Charlie Brown!
