this is true for many, the prisons in Vermont have had much more on their hands since fentanyl came up the highway from Mass and Conn. I am a senior, and I remember in the 80's men from the local AA groups used to go to the prisons to hold meetings, AA and NA, and it helped some. Back then AIDS was a deterrent. Cocaine addiction is different, even if a person gets straight, nothing will replace the dopamine receptors that were burned out over time. Sometimes though, the reality sinks in that it's sobriety or jail, institutions, or death.
