“Acceptance is the priority,” Karen Freiberger, a parent (see her story on page 8) said. “This is not an inner-city problem or an urban problem or a poor or rich problem. There are no barriers here. Heroin is available to anyone and it is used by people across our community spectrum. Denial of the pervasiveness of the problem gives addicts and their dealers a bigger ability to operate.”
“Second, it is paramount that we stop blaming entire families for one member’s addiction. I have heard so often that ‘Kids live what they learn.’ There were no drugs in my family. My daughter didn’t learn to use drugs in our home. We are in desperate need of affordable controlled treatment centers and sober living houses. For people who genuinely want to recover we do not have enough beds. Finally, we can assist law enforcement. If we see someone using, call it in. If we see someone selling, call it in.”
