Why Is Florida’s Opioid Crisis Getting Worse?

Drug overdoses, primarily from opioids such as oxycontin and fentanyl, have doubled in Pasco County, Florida, this year. It’s one of the hidden side effects of the COVID pandemic and subsequent lockdown that has left many without the support they need during their most vulnerable moments. “They're not just dying of a COVID virus, they're dying of overdoses and they're dying of suicide ... There's a hopelessness that comes along in that moment.” Kevin lost the mother of his son to a drug overdose during the pandemic. He was also forced to close the 12-step program at his church, he says, and he feels powerless as COVID's impact tears through his community.

Any addiction whether it's drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food is either a psycological or chemical disorder. The psycological end of this comes from life's traumas. It's a way to temporarily escape harsh realities, for the short run ; for the long run you only add to your problems.No need for drugs, a psycologist will help.. If it's a chemical disorder, that's another ball game which one would need psychiatrists to help you get out of this using other drugs. In ALL addictions, prayer is the number one weapon
