The Pain Opioid Epidemic touches all of us to varying degrees. Some of us are struggling with a family member who is in the hell of opioid addiction, others suffer from severe pain and fear the availability of opioids for relief, others are dependent on opioids prescribed for minor trauma, still, others are in treatment for the disease of opioid dependence.
