Opiates, drugs which come from the poppy plant, have seen increased use and abuse all across the United States. This is true even in the state of Kansas, and especially in places like Dodge City where a presence of low income and poverty stricken residents feeds the illegal drug trade. Whether it’s illicit drugs like heroin, or simply the abuse of legal drugs like Percocet and Oxycontin, the problem still exists and has to be dealt with in a manner that will ensure it doesn’t eat away at the resources and population of the state. It’s for that reason that Kansas opiate addiction treatment options are available, and why users are encouraged to seek help when they need it.
