Sharing this in SL instead of DitM for obvious reasons. Great article. I've come to expect nothing less from this author. If you ever are interested in a good read, two of her books Help at Any Cost and Unbroken Brain are absolutely phenomenal.

In fact, most people recover, often on their own. Here are some of their stories.

https://nyti.ms/2N69ladMaia Szalavitz | August 31st said:Filthy hands gripping bloody needles, pregnant women shooting up, angelic toddlers in car seats with their parents slumped upfront, overdosed ? media images of the opioid crisis are relentlessly dire.
Fortunately, this is not the whole story. Around two million Americans are addicted to opioids. Yet many more have overcome their opioid problems. A large national population study found that almost all of those who once met criteria for prescription opioid-use disorder achieved remission during their lifetimes ? and half of those recovered within five years. Although heroin and street fentanyl are more dangerous, most of those who avoid fatal overdoses recover from addiction.
To improve the odds, we need to recognize and champion recovery ? and the wide variety of forms it can take.
