JB McCuskey on Drugs

	JB McCuskey on Drugs

Stand by addicts and support thru recovery

Families in our valley face many challenges. One of the toughest of these is drug use. Our community has too many families with one or more parents addicted to drugs. This is a deep seeded problem that has many root causes, but none greater than the atrophy of pride that comes from a declining economy.

To begin eliminating this problem, we must first reduce the amount of people who become addicted through awareness and education. Then, we must stand by those who have become addicted and provide them support through the recovery process. Finally, we must create a diverse and vibrant economy that ensures pride inducing employment to every citizen that seeks it. It is here, by providing those recovering with the hope that better days are ahead, that we can stem the tide of this problem and begin to heal the wounds that it has inflicted.
