Eye on the world: Freedom from addiction

A recent Christian Science Monitor editorial, “The rush to curb a heroin/opioid crisis,” addresses society’s urgent efforts to curb a growing number of overdoses from opiate addiction​, and reports that “a great deal of unity now surrounds efforts to free people from drug dependency” in response to “an acute opioid crisis in many states.” It further states: “While government-backed programs can rescue people in an acute drug crisis, and steer them toward treatment, much of the long-term healing takes place through the quality of an individual’s thinking and relationships.”
