Addiction Algebra

"Drug treatment is lacking in Nash County. Resources for folks who are unemployed, they're lacking, I mean there's people who can't afford to pay for their medicine and they're chronically sick..."

On Challenges

"I think probably for young people, teenagers, there's peer pressure and that sense of discovery and trying things and so forth. Um, that's a pretty natural thing. …Some parents actively encourage drinking, and some even though they may drink, discourage it and that can sometimes backfire, depending on how you address that."

On Why People Misuse Substances

"I have learned to go outside of the house, get in my car, turn my meditation music on… I just seek my father. I just go to my faith place and just meditate."
