Break a back, take painkillers, get addicted and end up needing that narcan when they inevitably turn to heroin to get "well" and od.

This is the problem right here, plain and simple. There are more than a few places on the north shore that claim to be pain management but will give prescriptions as long as you come in for appointments and do some type of procedure every few months. These same places will reduce the strength of the pills after a year and the same the next year, and that’s when the problems start. It’s easy to talk shite about people if you haven’t personally been affected by it but if you have witnessed it up close your attitude might be different.
