The Opioid Crisis and the growing problem of addiction in general are among the most critical issues facing society today. At its root, addictive tendencies stem not just from chronic physical or emotional pain, but far more commonly is a reflection of the mounting inability to deal effectively with life’s challenges.

As a society, we are over-worked, over-stressed, and often do not have the emotional tools to deal with life on life’s terms. The result is often a downward spiral, as people begin to rely on something outside of themselves to just make it through the day.
