As the opioid crisis in America grows, the victims to drug addiction are in need of easier access to getting help for themselves. Gladys Johnsen lost her daughter’s partner to an overdose that occurred just weeks after he was searching for help. She stated that she heard him calling rehabilitation centers asking for help but he didn’t find anything due to lack of money (as cited in Woodruff, 2016, p. 1).  With more affordable treatment centers, these victims of addiction will be able to get the help they are seeking for before a tragedy strikes. Along with affordability, people face an issue with simply finding doctors in their communities that can help them overcome addiction. In a small town in Iowa, drug addicts that wanted help had to drive far away to treatment centers. Morgan (2017) informed us about how “That changed about a year ago when two doctors here were licensed to prescribe Suboxone, a drug that eases withdrawal symptoms and helps keep opioid cravings at bay” (p. 2). With these doctors being able to prescribe this drug, addicts now have easier access to recovering from their opioid addiction. One reason most people can’t stop on their own is because of the withdrawal and detox that occurs when they stop taking the drugs. With the help of these prescriptions the symptoms are mild.
