“Frustrated by out-of-control increases in drug overdose deaths, California's leaders are trying something radical: They want the state to be the first to pay people to stay sober.”

💭 Addiction can come in different forms, however, solving an issue like this won’t be resolved with accepting money. It will require an internal change from within. Sobriety is possible if you accept the past and be present for each day that is given.

“Even outside of prisons and jails, drug overdose deaths are at historic levels, according to federal data released on Wednesday. Last year, the nationwide death toll increased by nearly 30% from 2019. The devastating trend was driven by opioids, primarily illegal fentanyl.”

📈This is devastatingly true and how we can change this statistic is by holding big pharmaceutical companies accountable, spreading awareness throughout our communities and sharing our experiences through the message of recovery.

Deaths from drugs and alcohol have increased by more than 600% in state prisons in the last two decades, giving lie to the idea that sending addicts to prison can help them stop using.

💊 Accountability will need to be the approach for all drug dealing cases. A tragic story that is continually happening across the Nation.
