From YouTube: WHY Coalition - Prescription Drug Use & Abuse
Description
Watertown Healthy Youth Coalition presentation on the harmful effects of prescription use and abuse.
A
Talk
about
what's
going
on
right
here,
right
now
in
Watertown,
and
so
tonight
we're
going
to
have
a
local
community
members
share
his
story.
We
have
our
panel
of
experts
here
that
are
gonna
share,
what
they're
seeing
going
on
in
their
field
of
work
and
then
we're
gonna
open
it
up
for
you
guys
to
ask
questions
at
your
tables.
I
do
have
some
sticky
notes.
A
So
if
you
don't
feel
comfortable
asking
the
questions
yourselves,
you
can
write
that
down
and
I'll
have
people
who
will
be
walking
around
or
if
you
raise
your
hand,
we
can
grab
those
from
you
as
well
to
kick
off
the
evening.
I'm
gonna
show
a
brief
introductory
of
a
video
called
chasing
the
dragon
and
I'm
going
to
show
about
seven
minutes
of
it,
but
it's
just
going
to
kind
of
give
us
an
introduction
as
to
why
we're
here
tonight.
B
C
Thought
the
best
approach
would
be
to
let
you
hear
the
truth:
no
filter,
no
sensors,
just
the
straight
facts
from
people
who
have
lived
with
the
hard
consequences
of
opioid
abuse,
you're
gonna
watch,
unscripted
interviews.
That
includes
some
raw
emotion
and
some
profanity
you're
gonna,
witness
real
tragedy
and
learn
what
happens
when
drugs
take
hold
of
real
people
and
don't
let
go.
You
will
see
that
those
whose
lives
are
taken
over
by
drug
addiction
or
often
kids,
from
stable
homes
with
strong
families.

A
Okay,
so
that's
just
to
kind
of
give
us
a
little
introduction
of
tonight.
What
I'd
like
to
do
now
is
just
think
about
how
many
of
us
could
probably
relate
to
someone
like
the
people.
The
individuals
we
just
saw
in
the
video
no
one's
intent
is
to
become
an
addict
and
that's.
Why
we're
here
tonight
to
be
proactive
and
to
have
a
discussion
of
what's
going
on
in
our
community
and
talk
about
what
we
can
do
to
keep
our
community
safe,
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
speaker
for
tonight.
His
name
is
Lucas.
A
He
is
a
lifelong
South
Dakotan
like
many
in
the
community.
He
was
raised
by
a
great
family
in
a
small
town
similar
to
what
we
just
saw
in
the
video
he
was
active
in
sports
and
in
his
church.
None
of
the
so-called
telltale
signs
of
future
substance
abuse
was
present.
In
fact,
he
had
never
seen
marijuana
until
after
high
school
growing
up.
A
He
couldn't
fathom
why
anyone
would
ever
use
drugs,
let
alone
continue
to
use
them
when
the
destruction
in
their
lives
was
evident
until
he
found
himself
addicted
to
prescription
painkillers,
afraid
and
unable
to
stop.
In
his
10
years
of
sobriety,
he
has
found
happiness
beyond
his
wildest
dreams:
a
loving
wife,
two
amazing
children,
close
relationships
with
friends
and
family
and,
most
importantly,
freedom.
Freedom
is
the
physical
sense
and
in
the
spiritual
sense,
as
the
saying
goes,
the
truth
will
set
you
free,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Lucas.
L
As
Kelly
had
mentioned,
my
name
is
Lucas
and
I
am
an
addict.
Thank
you
to
everyone
for
being
here,
Human
Service
Agency,
and
why
and
everyone
who
has
helped
put
this
on-
she
had
mentioned.
I've
had
10
years
of
sobriety
may
27th
of
this
past
year,
and
it
was
around
the
time
that
that
meth
forum
was
held
here
and
I
thought.
You
know
it's
ten
years
that
I've
been
sober,
doing
really
really
well
and
I
really
haven't
done.
What
I
should
do
to
help
give
back
to
other
people
that
I
know
are
struggling
out
there.
L
So
I'm
gonna
tell
you
my
story:
I'll
do
the
best
I
can
I
always
write
up
a
big
outline
and
about
two
sentences
into
it?
I
forget
it,
but
so
anyway,
the
first
part
I'd
like
to
say
is
that
addiction
is
addiction.
I
know
when
I
went
to
treatment
a
lot
of
times,
I
was
trying
to
compare
myself
to
other
people.
You
know
who
done
more
for
longer,
or
you
know
they
aren't
an
addict
they're.
Only
using
marijuana
they've
only
been
doing
it
three
years.
L
Well,
you
come
to
a
realization
that
eventually
addiction
is
straight-up
addiction.
It's
not
a
contest.
You
either
are
under
the
control
of
drugs
or
you
are
not
it'd
be
nice.
If
there's
a
barometer
that
could
tell
us
what
there
is
and
I
grew
up
and
I
was
gonna
say
as
a
Norman,
Rockwell
childhood,
but
being
here
in
South
Dakota,
it
was
a
Terry
Redland,
painting,
I
grew
up
out
in
the
country
on
a
farm
with
my
parents,
my
little
sister,
the
dogs,
Grandma
and
Grandpa
things
are
pretty
wonderful.
L
No
issues
I
got
to
spend
as
much
time
hunting
and
spending
or
playing
outside
that
I
wanted
to.
Every
summer
we
went
to
the
Big
Horn
Mountains
and
fly-fished
things
were
smooth
sailing
and
I
guess.
I
grew
up
in
the
just
say
no
era.
How
many
you
guys
remember
just
say
no
all
right.
Quite
a
few
people
and
bless
Nancy,
Reagan's
heart,
but
I'm,
not
real
convinced
the
people
who
are
unfamiliar
with
drugs
and
alcohol
addiction
should
be
setting
national
policy
I.
L
Remember
once
we
had
a
speaker
who
had
a
little
puppet
and
the
dad
was
real
nice
till
he
had
a
beer
and
turned
it
around
had
a
monster
face
on
it.
There
was
a
poster
that
said.
One
marijuana
cigarette
is
equal
to
120,
regular
cigarettes.
I
still
don't
know
what
that
means,
but
I
the
reason
I
bring
that
up
and
I'll
mention
it
again
at
the
end
is
we
have
to
be
honest
about
drugs
and
alcohol.
We
have
to
understand
why
people
use
them.
That's
because
it
makes
them
feel
better.
L
It
makes
them
feel
good
makes
them
feel
powerful,
and
while
that
can
be
an
appealing
aspect
that
doesn't
last
so
going
back
to
my
little
town
that
I
grew
up
in
there
was
no
marijuana,
but
there
was
alcohol
every
day.
We'd
go
for
football
practice,
be
3:30
in
the
afternoon
and
I'd
see
the
same
vehicles
at
the
bar
that
just
couldn't
fathom.
Why?
Why
don't
those
guys
just
not
go
well
down
the
road
I
would
come
to
figure
that
out,
but
active
in
sports
football
basketball
track
in
the
church.
L
All
my
friends,
you
know
we
did
a
little
drinking
little
partying
here
and
there,
but
when
it
came
to
drugs,
wink
wink,
we
didn't
do
them,
and
one
thing
I
learned
about
alcohol
is
that
it
was
an
escape.
It
was
a
way
for
me
to
do
things
and
say
things
that
you
know
I
was
maybe
afraid
to
do
or
say,
but
under
the
influence
of
alcohol
it
seemed
to
be
excused
when
I
graduated
high
school.
L
Well
as
it
got
towards
the
end
of
the
second
semester
of
Black
Hill
State
University,
the
friends
that
I'd
been
hanging
out
with
smoked,
marijuana
and
I'd
been
around
it.
I
tried
it
a
few
times,
I've,
never
gotten
I
until
finally,
that
one
time
it
just
hit
me
I,
just
remember
thinking.
Why
doesn't
everyone
do
this?
All
the
time
I
would
wake
up
early
in
the
morning
jump
in
my
vehicle
skip
class
just
drive
through
the
Black
Hills
smoke
pot
and
walk
around.
L
Wasn't
the
smartest
thing
to
do,
but
I
certainly
enjoyed
myself
doing
it
and
then,
of
course,
I
got
arrested
for
the
first
time,
one
of
my
good
buddies
was
out
of
town.
Another
friend
from
Rapid
City
called
and
said:
hey
come
on
down
we're
gonna
party
here
and
rapid,
so
I
jump
into
my
vehicle
and
I'm
driving
down
the
interstate
and
the
lights
turn
on
and
I
anyone
who's
ever
been
arrested
for
driving
under
the
influence
knows.
The
fear
I
mean
your
heart
is
ready
to
leap
out
of
his
chest
and
I.
L
Remember
talking
to
him
and
I'm
like
no,
no
I'm,
not
drinking
and
he's
like.
Well,
no
problem,
we'll
get
you
on
your
way.
Oh,
can
you
do
a
breathalyzer
for
me?
Well,
ten
minutes
later
I
was
in
handcuffs
a
bottle
of
alcohol
sitting.
On
top
of
the
vehicle-
and
that
was
the
first
time
unfortunately,
first
offense
went
down
to
a
reckless
driving.
So
you
know,
I
I
didn't
really
have
a
problem.
I,
there's
no
driving
under
the
influence,
I
was
just
being
reckless
and
going
back
to
beginning
drug
use,
I,
don't
know
what
it
was.
L
I
think
curiosity
played
a
big
part
of
it.
Maybe
some
of
it
was
rebellion,
but
all
I
know
is
I
tried,
marijuana
and
within
the
month
following
I'd,
also
tried,
cocaine,
mushrooms,
LSD
and,
of
course,
prescription
painkillers.
I
didn't
know
about
prescription
painkillers
until
I
was
in
college,
and
a
buddy
of
mine
went
to
my
aunt
and
uncle's
place,
and
he
pulled
me
aside.
He
said:
did
you
see
that
on
their
fridge
and
I
said
well,
there's
this
big
wicker
basket,
just
full
of
prescription
bottles,
I
said
well?
L
What
do
you
want
with
that
he's
like?
Well,
there's
there's
something
good
in
there.
There's
some
good
said
all
right.
Well,
what
am
I
looking
for.
He
said
you
want
something
for
pain.
Painkillers
are
the
ones
that
you
want
well,
the
next
time
I
went.
I
asked
my
cousin
and
he
said
well
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
in
there,
but
I
have
some
for
my
surgery,
so
I
took
two
and
I
guess:
I
didn't
really
think
too
much
about
it.
L
Well,
as
you
might
imagine,
as
I
mentioned
spending
my
time
walking
around
the
hills,
hi
I
didn't
do
too
well
in
my
classes,
so
I
failed
out
of
college
and
came
back
home,
but
I
didn't
want
to
be
a
part
of
that
small
community
anymore.
So
I
went
to
Brookings
and
Brookings
was
a
lot
of
fun
and,
like
any
college
towns,
it's
a
I
guess.
L
There's
an
excitement
about
partying,
so
I
got
to
be
the
cool
guy
I
had
the
fake
ID
a
girlfriend
and
was
just
having
fun,
but
this
girlfriend
I
had
and
she
was
a
small-town
girl
herself,
so
I
stopped
using
marijuana,
but
I
continued
to
drink
and
his
time
went
on
you
know:
things
fell
apart.
There
I
started
using
marijuana
again,
but
throughout
the
whole
period
of
this
there's
always
alcohol.
In
the
background
that's
always
drinking,
and
there
was
something
about
the
prescription:
painkillers
that
had
an
allure.
L
Every
party
I'd
go
to
I'd
ask
if
someone
had
some,
you
know,
I'd
get
my
wisdom,
teeth
pulled
out,
so
I
could
have
some
and
of
course,
once
again
with
my
drinking
and
drug
use,
I
was
arrested
for
driving
under
the
influence,
but
again
I
was
able
to
get
that
down
to
driving
while
drinking
underage,
no
DUI
and
then
a
couple
weeks
later,
no
driver's
license,
but
I
was
still
able
to
to
drive
because
a
piece
of
paper
or
plastic
doesn't
say
what
you
can
or
can't
do
again.
I
was
drinking.
L
The
police
officer
pulled
me
over
and
gave
me
a
breathalyzer
and
I
said:
I'd
been
drinking
cough
syrup
now,
I
had
no
idea
that
would
work,
I,
think
I'm,
one
of
four
people
in
the
history
of
the
world
to
get
out
of
drinking
and
driving
because
the
costs
are
up,
but
it
wasn't
true
and
the
thing
I
want
you
to
pull
away
from.
This
is
the
arrogance
that
comes
with
addiction
and
alcoholism.
L
L
As
things
move
forward
down
in
Brookings,
I
I
hit
the
lottery
I,
don't
know
how
or
why
but
I
met.
A
great
girl
fell
in
love
with
her
and
through
everything,
good,
bad
and
ugly,
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
ugly.
That
I
put
her
through
she's
still
with
me
today,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
friends
and
a
lot
of
good
times
and
I
almost
am
hesitant
to
say
that,
because
I
don't
want
people
to
think
that
it's
gonna
stay
that
way.
L
So
we
all
party
hard
and
have
fun
and
do
our
classes
and
the
difference
was
I
was
going
to
the
doctor.
The
difference
was
I
would
drive
six
hours
across
the
state
of
South
Dakota
out
to
Spearfish
sniff
oxycontin
for
a
weekend
and
drive
home,
but
I
wasn't
addicted.
I
didn't
have
a
problem
and
as
time
progressed,
it
was
just
more
and
more
I
had
to
have
those
pills
and
I've
heard
it
a
million
times,
but
it
bears
repeating.
L
Painkillers
affects
some
people
in
wildly
different
ways
for
myself.
It
was
Superman.
I
would
take
a
handful
lortabs
and
I'd
go
to
the
library
and
I'd
study
for
hours.
You
know,
reading
Supreme,
Court,
briefs
I
really
wanted
to
be
an
attorney
at
that
point
in
time.
In
my
life
and
I
just
had
these
pills
that
made
it
that
much
better
everyone
else,
they
would
take
him
to
fall
asleep,
but
they
didn't
get
the
allure
which,
unfortunately,
usually
only
meant
more.
L
For
me,
another
tragic
incident
happened
and
again
it
happens
to
a
lot
of
people,
but
my
grandfather
died
now
I
said
growing
up
on
this
farm
was
with
my
grandparents
and
from
the
time
I
was
little.
I
was
in
his
back
pocket
the
whole
time
and
he
suddenly
fell
ill
after
a
surgery
now
went
to
the
hospital
to
see
him
and,
and
he
wasn't
awake
and
he
died
and
I
knew
he
was
gonna,
die
and
I'll.
L
Never
forget
it
was
a
Super
Bowl
Sunday,
it
was
mom,
saves
the
Panthers
and
Patriots,
but
the
reason
I
remember
is
it
was
halftime
and
the
famous
or
infamous
Janet
Jackson
incident
happened
and
I
was
downstairs
on
the
phone
talking
to
my
mom.
She
did
inform
me
that
yes,
grandpa
Don
was
gone
and
it
hurt
it
hurt
really
really
bad
and
I.
Just
remember.
L
My
first
instinct
was
I,
went
and
talked
to
my
buddy's
roommate,
who
had
a
bottle
of
hydrocodone
and
I,
took
him
and
he
didn't
hurt
so
bad
anymore
and
it
went
on
and
on
like
this
still
drinking
still
drinking
marijuana.
Still
smoking
marijuana
all
the
time,
but
it
was
more
and
more
doctor
visits
more
and
more
times.
L
And
while
I
was
doing
this,
the
signs
were
there.
Sometimes
the
doctor
would
come
in
and
say
you
know,
you're
awfully
young
to
be
using
medication
like
this
and
I
would,
and
you
know,
kind
of
shrug
and
shake
my
head
and
say
boy
I
wish
it
wasn't
that
way.
I
wish
I
didn't
have
to
take
these,
but
I
can't
sleep
without
him.
I
can't
go
to
work
without
them.
L
Now
I
mentioned
going
to
the
Big
Horn
Mountains
when
I
was
a
kid
and
it
carried
out
a
little
bit
as
I
graduated
high
school
I.
Remember
going
out
there
one
year
and
I
drank
and
ate
oxycontin
the
whole
way
there
and
about
a
day
later,
I
couldn't
sleep.
I
was
shaking
I
was
sick
and
I
thought
I
had
the
flu
and
I
just
couldn't
figure
it
out.
Nothing
I
it
made
me
feel
better
and
ironically,
I
thought.
L
Maybe
if
I
had
some
marijuana
that
maybe
that's
the
issue
and
I
was
on
the
way
home
and
it
was
like
a
light,
went
off.
I
said
it's
the
pills,
the
pills
are:
what
made
me
sick
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
withdrawal
and
withdrawal
is
what
propels
the
crime
in
addiction.
The
fear
of
withdrawal
is
what
makes
people
do.
The
desperate
things
makes
them
lie,
cheat
steal,
hurt.
L
Everyone
here
has
had
the
stomach
flu.
Everyone
here
has
had
it
cold.
Well,
imagine
the
worst
flu
and
the
worst
cold
you've
ever
had
and
multiply
that
20
times
over
and
you
still
haven't
touched
where
opiate
withdrawal
reaches,
and
while
your
body
is
aching
and
hurting-
and
you
just
want
it
to
stop
your
mind-
is
right
there
to
tell
you
you
can
make
it
stop.
Not
only
can
you
make
this
sickness
stop,
you
can
pull
it
180
degrees,
the
other
direction
and
you'll
feel
good
you'll.
Be
that
Superman
again.
L
L
Things
are
getting
worse
and
I
was
home
for
a
weekend,
my
buddy
and
I.
We
were
again
drinking
and
driving
around
and
he
got
stuck
and
you
know
being
the
guy
was
I
know.
I
can
pull
him
out
and
as
we're
sitting
there
with
two
vehicles
stuck
together
with
chain
in
the
middle
of
South
Dakota
winter,
on
a
dirt
road,
a
highway
patrolman
pulls
up
and
I.
Just
remember
how
angry
I
was
I.
Wasn't
driving
I
was
outside
the
vehicle
when
this
cop
pulled
up,
but
he
still
had
the
audacity
to
give
me
a
DUI.
L
If
he
looked
in
the
center
console
of
my
buddy's
truck,
he
would
have
found
a
bag
of
marijuana
and
three
different
types
of
prescription.
Painkillers,
I
wasn't
lucky.
I
was
mad
again,
the
type
of
mentality
that
you
have
and
this
one
sent
me
into
outpatient
treatment,
and
when
you
talk
about
anger,
I'll,
never
forget
going
into
that
place
and
saying
you
don't
get
it.
This
is
my
first
DUI
I.
Don't
have
to
do
outpatient
treatment
for
this
and
they
said
no.
This
is
your
second
DUI
just
because
you
pled
it
down
to
a
DUI.
L
L
L
Remember
after
class
I
went
up
to
him,
I
said:
go
ahead
and
call
the
cops
I'm
not
under
a
no
drink,
and
he
said
I
was
just
hoping
you
would
listen,
but
there
was
nothing
to
listen
for
I
think
this
was
October
about
a
month
later,
I
was
out
of
Thanksgiving
in
the
Black
Hills
with
my
family.
Again,
while
everyone
played
board
games
and
was
trying
to
have
fun,
I
mean
at
this
point
in
time.
I
could
see
that
their
life
was
hurting
because
of
me,
I
was
passed
out.
L
I
was
snoring
on
the
college
and
this
snoring
I'm
sure
some
of
you,
health
professionals
in
here
know
this.
That's
right
there
before
you
stop
breathing.
In
fact,
the
other
time
I'd
heard
of
this
was
when
the
people
that
I
was
getting
my
drugs
from
had
a
woman
come
to
their
home
party
with
them
and
the
next
morning
they
went
to
wake
her
up
and
she
was
cold.
L
L
So
I
did
what
anyone
would
do.
The
guy
who'd,
given
her
the
pills,
I
asked
him
to
move
into
a
trailer
house
that
I
owned,
so
he
moved
in
I.
Waved
him
in
with
one
hand,
and
the
other
hand
held
out
for
a
drug
called
methadone
and
methadone,
is
often
used
as
a
replacement
drug
for
heroin
addicts
and
I
mentioned
my
ability
to
look
through
the
internet
and
I.
Remember
him
telling
me
that
he
had
this
methadone
and
I
said
no
way.
This
isn't
do
it.
This
will
not
work.
L
L
The
regular
doctors
can't
prescribe
methadone
or
they
can,
but
it's
very,
very
rare,
so
what
I
had
to
do
was
lie
my
way
into
a
pain
clinic
now
pain
clinics
offer
an
amazing
service
to
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
general
doctors
aren't
able
to
handle
pain,
but
they're
also
well
known
among
the
addiction
community.
The
addicts
as
where
you
go
to
get
the
good
drugs
so
I
had
a
useless
MRI
I
had
test
after
test
x-ray
after
x-ray.
L
Thousands
upon
thousands
of
needless
doctor
bills
until
I
had
finally
gotten
in
there
finally
got
in
and
got
my
prescription,
and
it
was
two
months
and
I
remember
that
second
month,
I
had
ran
out
of
pills
early
when
I
say
early
I
would
get
90
pills
and
they'd
be
gone
in
three
or
four
days
and
I
kept
wanting
to
get
off.
I
said
this
time
will
be
different.
This
time
will
be
different.
This
brings
us
up
to
Thanksgiving
and
it
was
gone.
I
had
nothing
and
I
was
trying
to
limp
my
way
through
school.
L
Everyone
knew
what
was
going
on,
except
for
me.
I
did
not
want
to
face
it
and
one
day
I
was
walking
home
from
class
dopesick
threw
up
on
the
sidewalk
outside
of
our
apartment,
and
I
went
in
and
saw
my
wife
laying
on
the
college.
Sound
asleep
and
I
hadn't
slept
in
days.
Was
there
all
I'll?
Do
that
to
you?
When
your
mind
is
telling
you
you
need
a
drug
and
you're
sick,
you
can't
sleep
and
I
broke
down.
I
saw
her
and
I
just
wanted
that
piece.
L
I
just
wanted
to
be
better,
and
it
was
later
that
day
that
I
checked
into
the
Keystone
treatment
facility
down
at
Canton,
South,
Dakota
and
I
wish
I
wish
so
badly
that
that
was
the
end
of
the
story,
but
as
I
got
into
treatment
again,
I
recognized
wow,
I'm,
so
much
better
than
all
these
people.
Here
they
don't
have
it
all
together.
I
do
remember
one
of
the
counselors
saying
that
60%
would
relapse
and
I
looked
around
the
room.
Picking
who
I
knew
for
sure
was
gonna
relapse.
L
L
And
I'd
never
been
so
alone.
In
my
life,
you
know:
I
went
from
being
the
fun
party
guy
phone
ringing,
all
the
time
tons
of
stuff
to
do
to
being
a
prisoner
in
my
own
body
and
I.
Think
I
made
it
about
two
weeks
before
I
finally
found
some
more
prescription.
Painkillers
made
it
a
couple
months
before
I
hurt
my
back
and
was
back
in
the
doctor's
office
and
working
my
way
to
get
back
into
a
solid
monthly
prescription.
L
My
dad
had
open-heart
surgery,
I
knew
he
was
gone,
I
knew
he
had
pills
at
home,
so
I
drove
gravel
roads
Brookings
to
Florence
part,
because
I
didn't
want
my
grandma
to
see
me
drive
up.
There
ran
through
the
pasture
opened
up
the
dresser,
pulled
out
the
painkillers
and
took
him
with
me
a
few
days
later.
He
gets
home
and
it's
describing
to
me
how
he
can
feel
his
sternum
grinding
against
each
other
and
why
I
took
his
pills
and
I
couldn't
lie
no
I'm
just
kidding.
I
could
I
said
what
they
had
my
neck.
L
He
just
hurt
so
bad
I
figured
you'd
get
more.
He
said,
I,
don't
care,
you
bring
those
back
to
me
and
I,
don't
know
if
he
knew
they
were
gone.
I
certainly
knew
they
were
long
gone,
but
in
trying
to
maintain
my
facade,
I
went
back
into
the
doctor,
got
shot
down
once
when
Student
Health
got
shot
down
again.
Finally,
the
third
try
got
to
a
doctor.
I
was
able
to
run
my
ruse
and
get
a
prescription
of
hydrocodone
to
replace
the
ones
that
I
had
stolen
you'll.
L
L
As
much
as
that,
hurts
him
calling
me
the
next
day
and
telling
me
to
bring
him
back
was
the
best
thing
that
ever
happened,
because
I
finally
had
realized
that
it
isn't
I
can't
use
drugs
and
be
okay.
I
can't
continue
the
cycle
that
I
was
going
on
and
half
people
trust
me
so
was
after
that
that
I
found
a
doctor
who
would
listen
to
what
I
want
I
didn't
have
to
manipulate
him.
L
I
could
just
be
honest
and
have
him
helped
me
out
and
I
got
through
withdrawals
and
to
this
day,
with
the
help
of
a
drug
called
suboxone
I've
been
able
to
maintain
my
sobriety
now
a
lot
of
people.
Medical
professionals
have
questions,
but
all
I
can
say
is
I,
don't
get
high
I,
don't
cheat
I,
don't
steal,
I,
don't
lie.
I
went
from
no
job
and
using
drugs
to
having
a
solid
career
to
a
family.
L
L
Anthony
Kiedis
is
a
recovering
heroin
addict
and
there's
a
song
called
under
the
bridge
that
he
wrote
his
best
friend
and
lead
guitarist
had
passed
away,
but
anyway
he
says
that
song
came
about
because
during
the
course
of
my
life,
I
was
what
you
might
call
a
hardcore
junkie
for
many
years.
Everything
that
was
beautiful,
precious
and
sacred
to
me
took
a
backseat.
My
need
for
chemical
dependency
became
more
and
more
disgusting
and
insane
after
years
of
sobriety,
everything
that
was
beautiful
and
sacred
that
I
had
lost
has
come
back
to
me.
L
More
deeply
than
I
could
ever
have
hoped
for.
During
that
time,
I
reached
some
ultimately
low
depths
of
incomprehensible
demoralisation,
which
are
very
much
in
my
memory,
and
the
big
part
of
this
is
loneliness
and
that's
something
that
every
drug
addict
can
relate
to.
Is
this
overwhelming
sense
of
loneliness
that
you're
trying
to
fill
with
whatever
you
can
find?
I
think
that
just
says
a
lot.
Addiction
is
a
lonely
place,
it's
a
place,
you
don't
want
to
be,
but
a
place.
L
You
end
up
and
you're
afraid
to
leave,
because
it's
all
you
know-
and
another
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
is
what
he
talked
about:
everything
that
you
held
sacred
and
beautiful.
Taking
a
back
seat.
You
do
any
sense
of
pride,
there's
no
low
that
you
won't
stoop
to
get
your
drugs,
but
when
you
can
push
that
behind
you,
those
things
that
are
sacred
and
beautiful
in
your
life,
they
do
come
back.
They
come
back
further
and
in
more
impressive
ways
and
you
can
even
fathom
and
a
lot
of
the
12-step
programs.
L
They
talk
about
happiness
beyond
your
wildest
dreams,
while
I
often
thought
that
was
just
a
cliche.
It
isn't
it's
the
truth.
You
know
I'm,
not
a
rock
star,
not
anyone
famous
I'm,
a
dad
I'm,
an
employee,
I'm,
a
son,
and
that
is
happiness
being
loved.
Having
people
trust
me,
people
that
have
no
right
to
trust
me
for
the
things
that
I've
done
to
them
earning
their
trust
back.
L
And
I
don't
want
to
push
on
this
too
hard,
but
in
the
12-step
programs
they
always
talk
about
a
higher
power
and
I
was
an
atheist
for
many
years.
I
was
so
angry
with
God.
It's
interesting,
isn't
it
something?
That's
not
real,
but
you
can
still
still
be
angry
with
it,
and
it
was
one
of
those
things
again
where
I
knew
better.
I
was
smarter.
L
Okay,
maybe
God
should
listen
to
me
when
I
was
in
treatment,
I
received
a
letter
and
it
was
nothing
but
Scripture
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
pen
and
write
all
the
nasty
words
I
could
think
of
and
send
it
back,
but
I
didn't
and
as
I
progressed
through
my
recovery,
things
were
going
well,
but
something
was
missing
and
much
again
like
the
Lord
has
planned
for
us.
He
put
me
in
the
hands
of
some
of
the
best
people.
L
I've
come
across
in
my
life
and
they
gave
me
a
chance
in
an
opportunity
and
they
showed
me
the
trust
and
belief
and
God
will
bring
you
happiness
farther
and
beyond.
Your
wildest
dreams
and
I
know
how
tough
this
is
for
addicts
to
hear
and
I'm
not
gonna
sit
here
and
proselytize
people
have
to
find
their
own
way.
You've
got
to
find
something
higher
than
you
is
something
you
can
hold
on
to
something
beyond
friends
and
family.
L
You
know
on
hunting.
This
is
a
big
part
of
my
spirituality
as
well
and
being
outside
and
being
in
creation.
It
isn't
that
same
high,
that
I
got
from
the
prescription
painkillers,
but
it's
more
satisfying
because
it's
real
and
it
lasts,
and
you
can't
put
that
in
a
pill.
It
only
comes
through
life
through
belief.
I
want
to
give
just
a
couple
final
notes
on
addiction,
a
lot
of
people
say
to
addicts.
You
know
you
need
to
love
your
wife
more
than
these
drugs.
L
L
L
L
The
fear
of
withdrawal
I've
used
words
to
describe
it,
but
you
can't
you
cannot
imagine
what
a
person
goes
to
I,
wouldn't
wish
it
on
my
worst
enemy,
getting
an
addict
through
withdrawal,
opiate
withdrawal,
it's
critical,
but
that
isn't
the
end
of
the
line.
That's
where
it
starts.
It
starts
with
getting
them
off
of
their
drug
and
then
teaching
people
how
to
live
without
it.
L
I've
mentioned
my
just
say:
no
childhood
I,
don't
think
that
works.
I
think
we
need
to
be
honest
now,
at
the
same
time,
I'm
not
going
to
tell
my
kids
every
bad
thing
that
I've
done
I'm,
not
gonna,
glorify
it
or
vilify
it
or
lie.
But
again
it
goes
back
to
the
truth.
What
is
actually
there
and
what
can
really
happen?
You
know,
what
can
we
do
if
your
friend
is
addicted?
What
can
you
do
if
your
parents
are
addicted?
L
I
wish
I
had
the
answers
for
these,
but
it
starts
with
having
the
conversation
and
talking
about
it.
We
cannot
pretend
the
addiction
will
just
resolve
itself.
I,
don't
know
anyone
who
can
use
heroin,
prescription,
painkillers
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
one
day,
just
stop
maybe
they're
there,
but
I
certainly
haven't
found
them
and
again,
when
I
talk
about
how
much
I
love
my
kids,
it
grips
me
at
times
to
think
you
know
my
little
boy
and
girl.
L
They
might
have
that
in
them
too,
and
how
do
I
stop
it?
You
know.
Certainly
aspects
of
addiction
can
be
genetic,
but
there
isn't
one
thing
that
narrows
it
down:
it's
something
that
we
all
have
to
be
aware
of
and
the
while
addictions
and
addicts
must
be
responsible
for
the
recovery.
Blame
and
shame
won't
put
an
addict
into
sobriety
and
won't
get
him
into
treatment.
It
might
start,
but
again,
I
talked
about
there's
getting
clean
and
then
there's
finding
sobriety
and
Happiness
they're.
L
Two
wildly
different
things:
I
talked
about
a
suboxone
being
a
drug
that
has
helped
me.
I,
have
a
friend
the
one
who
had
Drive
out
to
do
oxycontin
without
in
the
Black
Hills
and
I
wanted
to
help
him.
So
I
got
him
in
to
see
my
doctor
who
got
him
on
this
drug
know
he
stashed
it.
He
kept
using
oxycontin
heroin,
whatever
he
could
find.
No
one
hears
him
withdrawal.
Then
he'd
fall
back
on
these.
L
L
L
You
see
when
I
first
started
using
and
went
through
my
addiction,
I
hadn't
just
done
a
very
few
times
come
across
a
fentanyl
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
heard
of
this
drug.
That's
been
in
the
news
but
being
manufactured
down
south
across
the
ocean
in
China,
and
this
drug
is
powerful
and
you
don't
need
much
and
you
know
I.
Think
of
when
I
was
using
a
lot
of.
It
was
a
cottage
industry,
friends
of
friends
of
friends.
L
L
A
Thank
You,
Lucas
and
he'll
be
able
to
answer
questions
as
well.
I
just
want
to
get
an
opportunity
for
our
panel
to
introduce
themselves.
I'll
have
them
go
down
and
say
who
they
are
and
then
also
highlight
what
they're
hearing
or
seeing
in
their
field
of
work
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions,
and
so
we'll
have
about
40
minutes
to
do
that,
and
then
we'll
conclude
with
the
evening.
So
the
I
told
you
when
to
start
but
I
lied
or
do
you
want
me
to
start
with
lawn
fort?
We
get.
G
M
M
Our
detox
is
4
beds
we
take,
we
are
we
serve
Mount,
the
male
population
for
our
halfway
house,
male
and
female,
for
detox
the
things
that
we're
seeing
many
of
the
things
that
that
Jacob
Jared
Lucas,
okay,
that
he
talked
about
we're
seeing
some
of
the
trends
are,
we
usually
have
about
I
would
say
thirty
to
forty
at
least
percent
of
our
our
clientele
there
cross
addicted
than
many
of
them
use
opions
our
detox
facility.
We
are
seeing
about
that
rate
of
detox,
it's
a
cross
between
a
mixture
of
methamphetamine,
opioids
alcohol,
different
prescription
drugs.
M
It's
a
constant
I
met
with
a
few
of
our
residents
that
are
that
their
primary
diagnosis
for
addiction
is
opiates
just
recently
and
asked
them
just
to
kind
of
share
with
me.
You
know
online,
you
can
get
lots
of
information.
I've
been
doing
this
for
a
long
time,
so
I
know
something
about
opioids
and
I,
know
about
addiction
and
and
withdrawal,
and
all
of
that-
and
it
is
I
mean
that's
what
I
understand.
M
It's
like
the
worst
flu
you
ever
had,
but
we
do
see
people
frequently
get
through
that
withdrawal
with
the
medications
that
we
use,
which
isn't
much,
but
we
treat
the
the
symptoms.
We
treat
the
headaches
and
the
nausea
and
the
aches
and
the
pains,
and
usually
within
48,
to
72
hours,
that
is
subsided,
but
anyway,
what
they.
What
they
shared
with
me
is.
M
District,
just
destruction
just
yet,
but
we're
on
our
way
they
were
sharing.
Just
like,
like
I,
said
earlier
about,
there's
not
a
lot
of
pain
clinics
and
in
South
Dakota,
so
they're
more
creative.
They
apparently
will
hang
out
at
ers
and
doctors
offices
they
prey
on
veterans
because
they
know
that
veterans
get
larger
amounts
of
the
opiate
prescription,
whichever
it
may
be,
then
then,
a
doctor,
that's
you
know
like
normally
it's
thirty
to
ninety
buttons.
They
get
larger
amounts.
M
They
listen
all
the
time.
They're
listening
at
work,
they're
listening
at
family
gatherings,
they're
listening
for
when
people
are
gonna
have
surgeries
or
if
they
have
injuries,
and
so
they
will.
You
know,
pray
on
that.
Obviously
they
the
medicine
cabinets,
the
purses.
It
was
rather
interesting
to
talk
with
them.
The
one
thing
that
I
got
from
them
that
I
hadn't,
given
a
lot
of
thought
to
is
the
dark
web.
M
That's
something
that
that,
apparently
you
can
get
large
amounts
of
opiates
on
the
dark
web
and
a
reasonable
price.
I
think
it
was
five
thousand
four
two
hundred
fifty
dollars
and
they
sell
them,
for
you
know,
$10
a
piece.
So
that's
those
are
the
trends
that
I
think
you
know.
We
need
to
look
at
and
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
gonna
deal
with.
M
You
know
they
talked
about
how
they
could
pay
three
to
five
dollars
and
then
sell
them
for
four
$10
and
how
lucrative
it
is
and
how
it
has
to
be
that
way,
because
many
of
them
are
supporting
their
own
habit
plus
trying
to
make
a
living.
So
the
good
news
is
I
think
we
have
some
programs
here
in
South
Dakota
that
are
monitoring
a
lot
of
that
and
with
us
with
us
being
a
long
program.
M
Earlier
when
the
suboxone
was
was
mentioned,
that
is,
that
is
that
replacement
therapy
is
something
that's
happening
now,
and
there
are
a
few
doctors
that
do
it
in
South
Dakota.
Unfortunately,
I
didn't
want
to
mention
that
we
have
also
had
people
in
detox
for
suboxone
because
because
it's
it
sometimes
can
be
abused
too,
so
they
choose
to
abuse
whatever
is
out
there.
So
with
that
I
will.
N
I'm
Cyril
D
I'm,
the
director
of
pharmacy
at
Prairie,
Lakes
healthcare
here
in
Watertown
I've,
been
a
pharmacist
for
ten
years,
I've
been
at
prairie
lakes.
My
entire
time
I've
been
a
director
there
for
a
little
over
a
year.
Now,
before
my
taking
over
as
the
director
I've
worked
in
the
hospital
setting
as
well
as
the
retail
setting
that
we
have,
that
are
a
Lakes
I
thought
it
was
kind
of
important
that
I
might
start
out
what,
with
what
the
definition
of
an
opiate
is,
there
are
class
of
drugs.
N
They
include
the
illegal
drug
heroin
and
synthetic
opioids
such
as
fentanyl
and
pain,
relievers
that
are
available
legally
by
a
prescription,
so
oxycodone
oxycontin
hydrocodone,
which
you
will
hear
it.
Vicodin
Norco
lortab,
codeine,
morphine
dilaudid
and
many
others
they're
all
chemically
related.
They
interact
with
the
opioid
receptors
on
nerve
cells
in
the
body
in
the
brain
and
they're
generally
safe
if
they're
taken
first
very
short
period
of
time
and
when
prescribed
by
a
doctor,
for
you
know
a
real
purpose,
but
because
they
produced
the
euphoria
that
Lucas
was
talking
about,
they
can
also
cause
addiction.
N
So
not
only
do
they
provide
pain
relief,
but
this
is
where
they
start
to
get
misused.
There's
some
scary
statistics
I'd
like
to
share
about
the
opioid
epidemic
in
America,
which
is
really
considered
the
worst
man-made
epidemic
in
modern
medical
history.
91
American's
die
every
day
from
an
opioid
overdose.
N
This
includes
prescriptions
in
heroin
in
2015
twelve
point:
five
million
people
misused
opioid
prescriptions
21
to
29
percent
of
patients,
prescribed
opioids
for
chronic
pain,
will
misuse
them
8
to
12
percent,
develop
an
opioid
use,
disorder
and
4
to
6%
who
misuse
opioid
prescriptions
will
transition
to
heroin.
So
why
is
that
most
typically
heroin
will
be
cheaper,
cheaper
and
easier
to
find
and
80%
of
heroin
addicts
will
tell
you
that
they
started
with
a
misuse
of
an
opioid
prescription.
N
The
United
States
constitutes
4
4
percent
of
the
world
population,
but
we
consume
80%
of
the
global
supply
of
opioids
and
99
percent
of
the
hydrocodone.
So
your
vicodins,
your
narcos,
the
economic
impact,
is
huge.
Seventy
eight
point:
five
billion
dollars
a
year
to
society
and
that's
health
care,
cost
lost
productivity,
treatment
for
addiction,
criminal
justice
involvement
and
so
I'd
like
to
share
just
one.
You
know
this
is
kind
of
at
the
statistics.
I
gave
her
just
for
the
you
know,
the
United
States
in
general
and
I
think.
N
Sometimes
everybody
thinks
that
were
immune
here
in
South,
Dakota
we're
a
small
town
or
rural.
In
July
of
2017
there
were
eighteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
five
prescriptions
filled
for
vicodin.
So
the
hydrocodone
combination
is
a
Dominican.
Just
in
South
Dakota
there
were
1
million
one
hundred
ninety
one
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
tablets
dispensed
for
a
total
of
two
hundred
thirty
nine
thousand
two
hundred
and
thirty
three
days
supply
that
was
in
just
one
month.
So
if
you
think
we
don't
have
a
problem,
we
we
do
in
2015.
N
There
are
enough
opiates
prescribed
in
South
Dakota
to
medicate
every
adult
in
the
state
for
24
hours
a
day
for
nineteen
days
straight.
So
why
did
this
happen?
Back
in
the
80s
and
90s?
There
were
there
were
a
lot
of
industry
funded
campaigns
that
you
know
supported
greater
use
of
these
types
of
medications
that
we
in
healthcare
were
considered
pain
as
the
fifth
vital
sign.
You
know,
patients
shouldn't
have
any
pain,
I
also
feel
you
know.
We
have
become
a
society
of
instant
gratification.
N
N
Increased
use
of
opioids
for
non-cancer
pain,
starting
in
the
90s,
more
and
more
prescriptions
are
written
with
increased
number
of
day
supply
at
higher
doses,
a
lot
of
social
acceptance,
its
prescription.
It
must
be
safe.
My
doctor
prescribed
it
for
me,
storage
of
prescriptions
and
accessible
areas
to
friends
and
family
in
balanced
doses,
too
many
pills
and
too
many
days
supply.
N
N
People
have
used
opiate
prescription
drugs
can
be
anyone,
know
your
child
I
think
you
know.
Lucas
talked
about
this.
Your
spouse,
your
friend,
your
parents,
your
grandparents,
you
know
your
state
helped
mom
your
teachers,
you
know
factory
workers,
lawyers,
doctors,
nurses,
I,
mean
you
name
it.
It
can
get
you.
So
what
do
I
see
at
my
work
I've
seen
a
lot
of
very
creative
patients.
They
they
work.
The
system
they're,
really
good
at
it.
You'll
see
patients
that
you
know
they
doctor
shop.
N
N
Patients
with
legitimate
need
for
medications
have
them
stolen
from
family
members
and
friends,
and
quite
often
you
know,
people
will
fill
their
prescription,
not
even
use
it,
but
they
will
fill
it
and
they
will
sell
them
because
it
is
quite
its
lucrative
people
pay
a
lot
of
money
for
them
so
on
the
pharmacy.
Dispensing
narcotics
is
actually
have
you
heavily
regulated
by
the
DEA
at
any
given
time
in
the
hospital
and
retail
pharmacy.
You
need
to
have
an
exact
real-time
inventory
of
all
your
narcotic
or
controlled
level.
N
2
substance
we're
using
the
PDMP
or
the
prescription
drug
monitoring
program.
More
doctors
are
using
it
more
I
think
this
is,
you
know,
helped
out
when
you
people
come
in
and
you
know
you
kind
of
see
a
red
flag.
It
allows
me
to
look
on
there
and
I
can
see
every
prescription
narcotic
prescription.
That's
been
filled
by
what
doctor
on
what
day.
N
N
You
know
we
called
the
Board
of
Pharmacy
with
suspicious
you
know
or
behavior
drug
seeking,
behavior
I
think
they
used
to
ascribing
where
prescriptions
go
basically
kind
of
like
an
email
to
a
pharmacy
helps
things
out,
because
it
it
skips
that
paper
where
patients
will,
you
know,
try
to
steal,
prescription
blanks
and
write
themselves.
Prescriptions
I
highly,
encourage
everyone
to
take
their
narcotics
or
any
unused
prescriptions
to
the
sheriff's
office.
I
think
the
police
department
will
talk
about
this
a
little
bit,
but
even
they
have
a
place
you
can
go
during
business
hours.
N
All
the
time
to
get
rid
of
unused
narcotics
prescription
benefit.
Managers
for
insurance
companies
are
starting
to
kind
of
crack
down
on
this.
So
basically
they'll
limit
the
amount
of
opioids
you
can
fill
on
your
prescription
and
if
you
get
a
prescription
for
60-
and
they
say
you
can
only
have
thirty,
those
other
thirty
will
be
null
and
void.
You
cannot
go
refill,
those
you
know
we
don't
fill
prescriptions
early.
N
No
matter
how
many
times
you
call
the
pharmacy,
so
what
can
you
do
be
accountable
when
you
go
to
the
doctor
and
they
prescribe
something
like
this?
You
know
you
know
why
you're
taking
these
medications,
what
you're
taking
it
for
how
you're
supposed
to
take
it,
how
long
you're
supposed
to
use
it
and
find
out?
Oh,
there
are
a
lot
of
other
things
you
can
use
for
pain
relief.
N
Besides
narcotic
medications,
you
know
even
things
like
Tylenol
anti-inflammatories,
like
advil
ibuprofen,
sometimes
even
like
antidepressants,
can
be
used
to
treat
nerve
pain
and
they're
often
way
more
effective
than
opioid
physical
therapy.
It's
a
great
alternative
that
can
help
manage
and
treat
pain
effectively
and
there's
also
other
modalities.
You
know
hot/cold
Massage
range
motion
exercise
and
again
I
just
like
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
disposing
of
unused
narcotics.
N
N
There
is
drug
remaining
in
those
that
not
only
well
drug
seekers,
look
for,
but
those
can
actually
be
fatal
to
pets
and
children
if
they
get
ahold
of
those
in
the
in
the
garbage,
don't
store
them
in
the
bathroom
or
in
the
medicine
cabinet
or
on
the
kitchen
table.
Drug
seekers
know
right
where
to
look
for
these
places
and
your
family
and
friends
will
go
through
your
medicine,
cabinets
and
and
search
these
out.
N
The
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
about
is,
you
know,
we're
talking
about
the
opioid
epidemic,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
other
prescription
drugs
that
are
highly
abused
and
to
watch
out
for
the
benzodiazepines,
which
are
usually
used
for
anxiety,
so
your
ativans,
your
Valium
Xanax
or
klonopins
your
sleepers.
So
you
know
that
ambien
you
take
to
sleep
at
night.
Is
you
know
if
you
have
a
drug
seeker,
they're
gonna
seek
that
out,
tramadol
has
become
big
and
then
the
ADHD
drug.
So
your
adderall
and
your
vyvanse,
those
are
also
highly
abused.
N
So,
just
like
you
know,
Lucas
said
you
know
most
people.
They
can't
stop
this,
that
you
can't
stop
this
addiction.
You
need
help,
you
know
it's
it's,
it's
a
complicated
mechanism
of
action,
how
the
drug
addiction
works
and
how
the
withdrawal
works.
So
you
know,
if
someone
you
know
or
love,
is
you
think
or
suspect
is
addicted
to
know?
If
you
know
they
need
help,
they
can't
stop
on
their
own
and
they
need.
O
Good
evening,
Marty
Jackley,
you're,
Attorney,
General
and
I'm
here
tonight
with
Sarah
Rayburn
who's
in
the
back
there
at
the
project
stand
up.
That's
a
new
program
that
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
tonight
that
has
an
educational
component
and
an
enforcement
component,
and
then
Brian
Gort
maker,
the
director
of
DCI,
is,
is
also
with
us
tonight.
You
know
the
question
comes
up
is:
do
we
have
a
drug
epidemic
in
the
answers?
O
Of
course,
we
do
I
mean
if
we
were
to
survey
everybody
in
this
room
and
everybody
frankly
in
South
Dakota.
We
all,
including
me,
have
a
loved
one,
a
friend,
a
relative,
that's
suffering
from
addiction.
It's
happening
everywhere
across
our
nation.
The
meth
epidemic
has
hit
us
hard
in
South
Dakota.
It
hit
Montana
even
harder.
It's
hit,
North
Dakota,
it's
in
the
Midwest.
When
you
look
at
the
opioid
problem,
I
mean
when
you've
got
the
approximately
50,000
deaths-
it's
not
here
yet,
but
it's
coming.
O
We
average
40
to
50
deaths
a
year
in
South
Dakota
from
accidental
drug
overdose.
We
know
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
national
charts
that
we
rank
49th
out
of
51,
but
we
also
know
that
that
doesn't
necessarily
include
the
black
market,
which
is
from
a
law
enforcement
and
public
safety
side
of
it
very
concerning
and
what
I
mean
by
black
market
is.
She
did
a
great
job
of
talking
about
the
prescription
drug
monitoring
program.
O
We
know
that
doctors
prescribed
and
pharmacists
dispense
legally
about
1.1
million
of
the
top
pills
a
year,
but
then
there's
that
black
market,
where
you
ordered
over
the
Internet.
It's
those
cases
you
hear
on
the
radio
or
you
read
about
in
the
paper
the
twenty
thousand
fentanyl
pills
by
a
nineteen
year
old.
Unfortunately,
law
enforcement
caught
it
before
they
were
distributed,
but
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
opioids
and
prescription
drugs
that
don't
go
through
a
pharmacist
or
a
doctor
and
they're
coming
into
our
state
and
they're
being
distributed
to
young
kids.
O
We're
talking
middle
school
high
school,
it's
serious!
So
what
are
we
doing
about
it?
You
know
nationally
law
enforcement.
The
Attorney
General's
are
pushing
hard
back
about
something
to
happen
on
our
southern
borders.
In
other
words,
the
meth
that
you
see
in
watertown
that
we
see
across
our
state
primarily
comes
from
the
southern
border.
It's
not
manufactured
here.
We
have
a
few
cases
about
half
a
dozen
a
year
where
it
is,
but
it's
coming
from
our
southern
border
and
on
the
prescription
side
we
Attorney
General's,
are
investigating
big
pharma.
O
I
want
to
be
fair,
we're
investigating
and
we
don't
know
those
results
yet,
but
we're
looking
into
what
they've
said
and
what
they're
doing
and
there'll
be
that
component,
where
we
will
unite
as
a
group
of
law
enforcement
officers
across
the
nation
and
address
that
side
of
it.
But
what
we
can
here
do
what
we
can
do
here
today
and
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
visit
the
stand
up.
Booth
project
stand
up
is
really
has
two
components
to
it.
O
The
most
important
part
is
the
education
part,
I
mean
I,
say
when
it
comes
to
economic
development
and
the
moral
thing
to
do
it's.
Prevention
prevention
is
a
lot
cheaper
and
a
lot
more
effective
than
treatment
or
prosecution
prosecutions.
Expensive
nobody
wins.
When
we
have
to
investigate
somebody
prosecute
them,
you
have
to
pay
for
their
lawyer.
O
You
have
to
pay
for
the
judge,
you
have
to
pay
for
the
jail
or
the
penitentiary,
families
or
her
kids
lose
dads
moms,
it's
not
a
good
thing,
and
so
there's
a
component
that
education
component,
please
grab
the
brochures
the
signs
we'd
like
to
get
in
in
your
schools
and
talk
to
kids
about
the
dangerousness
of
drugs.
That's
project
stand
up
to
kind
of
help
with
that
the
other
component
of
project
stand
up
is
essentially,
we
are
deputizing
every
one
of
you
to
help
us
project
stand
up.
O
O
But
there
are
certain
instances
when
maybe
you
have
a
loved
one
and
you're
hurt
inform
and
you
want
to
help
them,
but
you
just
you
need
to
be
anonymous,
or
maybe
it's
you're
just
scared,
maybe
they're
your
neighbor
and
you're
afraid
they're
gonna
do
something
to
you
if
they
find
out
you're
involved.
This
is
anonymous.
I
won't
know
you
said
it.
Nobody
in
law
enforcement
knows
it's
a
third
party
server,
but
you,
if
you
text
drugs
to
eight
to
two
five
seven
over
three
hundred
and
fifty
people
in
south
dakota
have
done
that
already.
O
This
program
has
only
been
in
existence
since
late
May.
We
have
have
identified
over
two
hundred
and
fifty
individuals
in
43
different
counties,
including
this
one.
We've
already
begun
rolling
out
the
arrests
that
we're
making-
and
you
know
we
talked
about
it's-
not
just
enforcement.
When
we
make
arrests,
I
mean
in
Lucas
said
it
best.
It's
a
fine
line
between.
O
So
there
are
things
that
we're
doing
and
we're
doing
a
better
job
than
we
did
before
you're
doing
an
excellent
job
in
this
community
with
the
reach
Center,
we
just
recently
executed
a
search
warrant
in
the
area
and
a
bunch
of
kids
got
to
go
there
for
child
advocacy,
and
so
there
are
programs
and
things
that
are
happening.
I
want
to
encourage
you,
please
go
to
project
stand
up
grab
the
materials
also
go
to
no
meth
ever.com,
and
these
aren't
just
law
enforcement
projects.
O
This
is
law
enforcement
teaming
up
with
healthcare
teaming
up
with
educators
with
the
community
go
to
no
meth
ever
comm
watch
some
of
the
video
one
of
them
is
made
up
by
the
two
Augie
students,
probably
I've,
been
chairman
of
the
nation's
AG's
and
I
have
to
sit
through
a
lot
of
videos
on
drugs
that
one's
probably
one
of
the
best
take
a
minute
30
seconds.
Watch
that
video.
O
It's
really
good
and
sign
up
and
grab
that
literature,
and
if
you
know
of
somebody
in
the
community
that
you
love
it's
care
about,
I
mean
the
alternatives.
If
you
sit
back
and
do
nothing,
they're
likely
gonna
die
or
hurt
somebody
or
hurt
themselves.
If
you
do
something,
if
you
text
drugs
to
eight
to
two
five
seven,
you
can
make
a
difference,
and
please
do
so.
Thank
you.
P
My
name
is
Carmen
means,
and
I
am
one
of
the
circuit
court.
Judges
who
presides
over
court
here
in
Watertown
I
currently
preside
over
the
criminal
docket
I
preside
over
the
juvenile
docket
I
handle
a
number
of
other
kinds
of
cases
as
well.
I
want
to
say,
as
somebody
who
participated
both
in
the
meth
town
hall
meeting
and
this
meeting
I
am
gratified
to
see
so
many
people
here
today.
I
think
we
all
knew
when
we
organized
the
meth
town
hall
meeting
that
methamphetamine
was
a
serious
problem
in
our
community
I.
P
Don't
know
that
that
awareness
is
as
high
for
what
we
are
experiencing
with
the
opioid
academic
epidemic,
so
I'm
glad
that
people
are
taking
the
time
to
learn
about
this
and
to
do
what
they
can
to
help
participate
in
the
solution.
As
a
circuit
court
judge,
I
would
continue
to
say,
I
think
as
I
did
six
months
ago,
that
the
overwhelming
number
of
cases
that
I
see
are
still
methamphetamine
cases.
P
There
are
times
when
addicts
do
need
to
be
sent
to
the
penitentiary
and
I
have
to
make
those
judgment
calls,
but
typically
that
is
only
after.
They
have
amassed
numerous
cases
or
numerous
probation
violations
from
the
new
things
that
we're
doing
to
try
to
monitor
things.
We
do
also
use
the
prescription
drug
monitoring
program.
P
Our
probation
officers
have
access
to
that,
and
so
for
all
of
the
people
who
I
sentence
involving
addiction,
I
ordered
as
a
condition
of
their
probation
that
they
disclose
all
prescription
medications
that
they
receive
to
their
court
service
officer,
and
then
that
can
be
monitored
through
the
monitoring
program.
I
would
say
some
of
the
notable
concerns
that
I
want
to
talk
about.
Are
my
concern
about
the
attitude
of
our
young
people
as
it
relates
to
prescription
medication.
I.
Do
think
that
our
young
people
are
uneducated
about
that.
P
I'm
glad
that
there
are
things
such
as
project
stand-up.
They
can
can
get
some
of
that
education
piece
into
our
schools.
I
had
a
young
man
appear
before
me
in
juvenile
court
charged
with
ingesting,
and
he
had
essentially
taken
a
prescription
medication
from
a
classmate.
He
had
no
idea
what
it
was
and
he
had
no
clue
whether
it
would
have
any
effects
on
him
at
all.
P
We
have
treated
opioid
addicts
in
our
drug
court
and
I
have
felt
that
that
has
been
successful.
It
can
be
difficult
addicts
that
are
armed
or
kind
of
pill.
Seekers
are
a
little
bit
harder
to
monitor,
but
we
have
had
some
notable
successes
for
people
who
had
very
severe
opioid
addiction,
so
I
am
proud
of
that
piece.
I'm
also
hopeful
that
Watertown
will
be
a
community
very
soon
to
have
hope,
courts
and
Marty
Jackley
referenced.
P
Those
hope
probation
is
just
a
different
kind
of
probation
that
includes
more
random
testing
as
part
of
and
more
frequent
random
testing
as
part
of
probation,
and
if
a
probationer
violates
by
testing
positive
for
a
substance,
they
then
have
to
appear
immediately
in
front
of
the
judge
and
receive
a
sanction
and
receive
some
other
education
from
the
judge.
That
is
a
program
that
is
gaining
ground
here
in
South
Dakota,
and
there
are
a
few
communities
who
have
that
program
and
I'm
hopeful
that
Watertown
will
be
one
of
those
communities
in
the
near
future.
P
Q
My
name
is
Chad
Stahl
I'm,
the
detective
sergeant
for
the
Watertown
Police
Department
I
was
also
here.
At
the
last
meeting
we
had
back
in
March
I'm,
just
gonna
kind
of
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
update,
seeing
how
that's
was
predominantly
met
that
we
had
talked
about
back
then
we
do
have.
What
I
would
say
is
somewhat
of
an
issue
with
with
prescription
pills
here.
I
spent
many
years
investigating
drug
crimes
and
a
lot
of
those
are
going
to
be
like
your
doctor,
shopping
crimes
and
your
people
that
are
out
seeking
pills.
Q
Currently,
though,
I
want
to
say,
as
of
August,
I,
think
we're
still
averaging
for
the
Watertown
Police
Department,
like
71
arrests
per
month
for
drug-related
crimes.
That's
gonna
be
marijuana,
methamphetamine
pills
and
those
sorts
of
things,
so
those
numbers
are
still
fairly
high,
but
when
we
get
back
to
the
to
the
doctor,
shopping
sorts
of
things,
I
hate
to
say
it,
but
those
are
the
crimes
that
we
don't
really
put
a
lot
of
time
into,
because
they
they
used
to
be
very
time
consuming
with
the
prescription
monitoring
program.
Q
Now
it
makes
it
a
little
a
little
more
sim,
but
years
ago
we
used
to
have
to
go
through
the
pharmacy
board
and
talk
with
a
gentleman
out
in
Pierre,
and
he
would
have
to
contact
the
suspected
pharmacies
that
we
thought
these
people
would
be
going
through.
So
he
would
have
to
send
things
out
to
the
pharmacies
and
then
we
would
get
the
information
back.
So
it
was
quite
a
time-consuming
process,
but
I
think
the
angle
that
we
need
to
go
with
this
is:
is
we
in
law
enforcement
treatment
and
the
courts?
Q
We
need
to
get
together
with
the
medical
field
and
actually
give
training
and
work
more
closely
with
the
doctors,
because
when
we
do
see
these
cases
come
through
and
we'll
run
the
the
prescription
back
for
a
year
or
whatnot
on
the
individual.
We
can
see
that
this
person
has
seen
a
doctor
in
Watertown
they've,
seen
a
dentist
in
Watertown
they've
been
to
the
emergency
room
and
Milbank.
They
may
have
prescriptions
that
they've
gotten
in
Minnesota,
but
filled
back
here
in
South
Dakota.
Q
So
those
are
the
things
that
I
think
we
really
need
to
take
the
time
and
educate
and
communicate
more
freely
with
doctors.
We
know
when
we
go
to
the
doctor's
office
they're
quite
busy,
and
it
takes
an
extra
step
and
it
takes
a
little
extra
time
in
order
to
get
these.
These
profiles
back
and
the
people
may
already
be
gone
so
that
that
can't
be
addressed
at
that
time.
Q
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
we
don't
communicate
at
all,
but
there
is
some
communications
with
some
doctors
in
our
area,
but
I
think
that
is
a
step
that
we
could
really
take
and
and
do
some
education
there
and
really
get
on
the
same
page.
I
also
learned
that
there
are
other
steps,
I
think
we
can
take
to
try
and
potentially
limit
the
amount
of
opiates
that
are
produced
in
the
country
as
far
as
prescribed,
because
there's
a
much
farther
in-depth
look
into
that
and
where
the
control
of
the
production
actually
comes
from.
Q
So
those
are
just
a
few
things
that
I
think
we
as
a
community
could
take
and
and
really
kind
of.
Instead
of
saying,
we
have
a
problem.
Let's
try
and
find
a
solution
to
this
problem.
Let's
try
and
get
out
in
front
of
it
and
those
are
just
different
aspects
that
I
think
we
need
to
take
here,
and
it
isn't
our
job
just
as
law
enforcement
to
arrest
people
and
and
write
them
a
ticket
and
put
them
in
jail.
Q
It's
our
job
to
actually
do
a
thorough
investigation
find
out.
Why
try
and
get
to
the
root
of
what's
going
on,
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
we
have
the
drug
take-back
coming
up.
This
Saturday
that'll
take
place
at
the
lobby
of
the
police
department
from
10:00
a.m.
to
2:00
p.m.
so.
If
you
do
have
any
unused
or
unwanted
medications,
you
can
bring
those
down.
It's
a
no-questions-asked
sort
of
thing.
You
bring
them
in,
you
put
them
in
the
box
and
we
will
dispose
of
them.
We
do
that
once
a
year.
Q
Q
R
Just
to
give
a
good
estimate
about
every
six
months
we
bag
up
about
80
pounds
of
pills,
dropped
off
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
send
back
to
be
destroyed
or
reappropriation,
be
that's
that's,
potentially
millions
of
pills
by
the
end
of
this
program
that
potentially
came
off
the
street
or
getting
into
a
child's
hands-
and
you
know
that's
one
way
that
we
are
trying
to
be
proactive
to
keep
our
community
safe
or
at
least
get
them
unused
pills
or
unneeded
medications
off
the
streets.
So
they
can't
be
stolen.
R
Chad
would
be
able
to
speak
for
this
as
well
at
a
lot
of
the
crimes
that
we
deal
with
are
in
relation
to
feed
some
sort
of
addiction.
May
it
be
opiate
or
or
methamphetamine
whatever
it
may
be.
Burglar
you've
probably
stand
back
to
stealing
some
items
to
sell
later
on
to
purchase
said
drugs
out
there.
R
At
dig
the
it's
it's
one
of
the
things
where
I
think
South
Dakota
has
been
proactive
by
implementing
that
PD,
MD
or
prescription
drug
monitoring
program
for
law
enforcement
and
other
agencies
to
use
to
kind
of
keep
tabs
on
people
that
are
potentially
doctor
shopping,
the
other
side
of
it.
Now
you
know,
as
a
sheriff's
office,
we
deal
with
jail.
R
If
you
know,
they're
right
in
71,
arrests
or
they're
writing
up
71
at
rest
for
drugs
on
a
monthly
basis.
You
know
we're
a
much
smaller
department,
but
we're
still
putting
out
quite
a
few
arrests
on
our
side,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
coming
from
programs
that
we
prorate
to
be
fitting
for
drug
users
like
the
24/7,
and
you
know
when
they
fail
a
UA.
R
They
can
potentially
seek
charges
from
the
court
systems,
so
I
mean
we're
getting
you
a
is
probably
twice
three
times
a
week
from
failed
24/7
people
coming
in
providing
a
urine
sample
than
us
testing
it.
So
I
mean
it's
the
epidemic,
it's
it
starts
from
the
top
where
they
get
it
from
the
pharmacy
and
comes
all
the
way
into
our
jail.
I
mean
it's
in
like
Chad
said:
meth
is
definitely
a
problem
and
it's
easily
concealable
same
thing
with
pills,
so
it
makes
our
job
a
whole
lot
harder
and
it's
not.
R
Our
goal
is
to
put
people
in
jail.
We
want
to
see
people
get
help
and
obviously
be
back
out
in
the
community
and
be
productive
and
a
good
citizen,
because
that's
gonna
be
a
lot
easier
on
everybody.
So
I'm
not
gonna,
take
up
too
much
time
because
I
want
you
guys,
be
able
ask
questions
and
they
took
a
lot
of
the
wind
out
of
my
sails.
So
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Kelly
all.
A
R
R
I
hope
you
guys
see
the
value
in
that
I've
known
Lucas
10
years
plus
now
and
I
would
have
never
guessed
before
this
day
that
he
was
an
addict
for
any
pill
or
anything
out
there
now
I
knew
he
liked
alcohol
when
I
worked
with
him
prior,
but
well,
he
did
up
here
for
everybody
today
it
was
extremely
humiliating
I
mean
he
told
the
worst
of
his
worst.
You
can't
have
somebody
to
do
that
and
expect
him
to
come
forth
and
do
what
he
just
did
so
value
that
as
a
very
educational
moment
for
everybody.
R
A
P
The
factors
that
we
are
supposed
to
consider
our
ties
to
the
community
and
whether
somebody
is
a
danger
to
the
community
and
controlled
substance
charges,
don't
necessarily
fit
in
either
of
those
categories
such
that
you
would
necessarily
set
bond
high.
We
are
also
here
in
Watertown
and
all
across
the
state.
P
S
O
That's
a
great
question
on
the
on
the
monitoring,
so
much
of
it
depends
upon
where
it
is,
there's
a
couple
things
that
play
they're
going
on
Ashley
right
now.
A
lot
of
the
tech
companies
have
their
servers
overseas
and
they've
taken
a
position
that
those
servers
are
not
subject
to
search
warrants
signed
by
a
lawful
judge.
Many
of
us
Attorney
General's
disagree
with
that.
In
fact,
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
it,
you
can
go
on
the
AG's
website.
O
I
had
joined
in
with
several
AG's
to
send
a
pretty
stern
letter
against
Microsoft
and
they've
taken
that
position.
So
a
lot
of
the
information
is
overseas
and
not
available
to
us.
There's
also
a
law
that
Congress
passed
in
1996
that
really
limits
law
enforcement
in
certain
areas
when
it
comes
to
companies
and
what
they're
doing
and
dealing
with
state
laws.
So
we've
asked
Congress
to
change
that,
so
it's
made
it
challenging
the
reality
is
and
that
this
is
the
same
with
the
chief
and
the
sheriff
and
the
Attorney
General.
O
Our
jurisdiction
is
really
within
the
borders
of
our
state,
but
I
want
you
to
be
reassured
that
on
a
national
level,
we
share
information
considerably
through
task
force's
through
federal
authorities.
But
the
challenge
is
most
of
the
drugs
that
are
coming
in
and
causing
us
problems.
The
mess
coming
from
Mexico
and
the
pills
are
coming
from
China
and
elsewhere,
and
so
we
are
having
a
lot
of
challenges
being
able
to
enforce
on
that
and
that's
why
it
goes
back
to
prevention,
prevention,
prevention
and
then
treatment
and
then
in
the
worst
Resort
the
prosecution
side.
R
I'll
Taylor
off
that
you
know
it's
one
thing
to
have
the
prevention
part,
but
there's
access
to
everything.
That's
out
there.
There's
websites
dedicated
to
drug
use,
to
teach
people
how
to
use
drugs,
and
that's
gonna,
be
the
next
battle
too.
You
know
it's,
it's
easy
enough
to
learn
how
to
do
it
and
obviously
we're
trying
to
be
proactive
to
keep
people
from
doing
it,
but
the
worst
enemy
is
right
in
front
of
our
face
most
the
time
or
smartphone
you
access,
thousands
and
thousands
of
places
on
the
web.
R
That
can
tell
you
exactly
what
drugs
legal
or
not
legal
will
do.
What,
if
you
take
certain
doses
of
it,
I've
been
on
websites
that
I
could
tell
you
you
can
go
to
your
local
Walmart
Walgreens,
whatever
pharmacy,
it
is
not
even
have
to
talk
to
the
pharmacist
thing.
Go
get
high,
so
there's
there's
far
more
than
just
this
epidemic.
That's
out
there
there's
there's
very
different
issues
on
the
horizon.
M
M
M
M
It's
you
know
it's
difficult,
I
agree.
The
prevention
is,
though,
but
drug
addicts
are
or
once
that,
once
once
caught
up
in
it,
pretty
crafty
I
did
here
on
Callum
last
night
that
since
the
the
prescription
monitoring
program,
that
the
prescriptions
that
men
and
the
education
that
the
prescriptions,
medical
doctors
in
South
Dakota
are
writing
for
opioids
and
things
like
that
and
have
dropped
27
percent.
T
I
have
two
questions.
One
is
that
it
seems
to
defy
logic
that
the
drug
dealers
are
selling
drugs.
That
would,
you
know,
kill
the
very
people
who
would
take
the
drugs
and
I'm
sure
there's
just
not
creative
enough
to
think
of
why
they
would
do
that,
and
the
second
question
is
what
kind
of
programs
are
available
to
all
the
communities,
not
just
current
and
county,
but
all
of
the
communities
both
for
parents
and
for
the
kids
and
I?
R
Second
question:
as
far
as
dare
goes:
Watertown
police
department
and
cotton
County
bolt
through
the
DARE
program,
there's
other
programs
out
there
other
than
there
that
can
be
established
in
different
communities.
What
it
comes
down
to
is
each
community
has
to
establish
what
they're
willing
to
educate
their
people
on
and
and
who's
willing
to
do
it
actually.
So
it's
it's
not
always
easy
to
find
the
soldiers
go
out
and
actually
do
the
classes,
and
things
like
that.
Luckily,
with
their
law
enforcement,
will
do
that
most
time.
T
O
South
Dakota,
when
it
comes
to,
dare
we
actually
lead
the
nation
we
train
the
trainer.
So
we
have
that
information
available
at
the
office.
There
are
really
two
different
programs
that
are
exist
in
South
Dakota
and
they
don't
compete.
They're
parallel,
they're,
good
programs
and
I
would
encourage
from
a
community
standpoint,
obviously
dares
in
Cottington.
County
I
have
an
11
year
old
daughter
that
went
through
the
DARE
program
when
she
was
10,
so
did
my
son,
it's
a
great
program.
Madison
uses
empower
I
would
encourage
you
if
you're
looking
at
the
two
programs.
O
Look
at
them
both
so
there's
empower
and
there's
there
project
stand
up,
is
another
one
and
they
all
again
parallel
each
other.
But
there's
an
educational
component,
three
hours
of
coursework
associated
with
project
stand
up.
So
please
at
the
at
the
close
of
the
meeting.
Go
to
that
back
booth
and
grab
as
much
of
that
material.
As
you
want-
and
you
know
you
ask
the
question:
is
you
know
why
would
drug
dealers
deal
to
people
something
that'll
kill
them?
It's
much
like
big
tobacco
I
mean
big
tobacco
sold
cigarettes.
Q
On
that,
with
with
the
dare
portion
there,
I
am
NOT
a
Dara
officer,
but
we
do
have
several
interagency.
You
know,
I've
talked
with
them
and
as
far
as
measuring
that
it's
almost
impossible
to
measure
the
success,
but
if
you
say,
there's
one
child
who
went
through
there
that
didn't
use
it
or
use
drugs
because
of
it.
Does
that
deemed
a
success
at
that
point?
Probably
so
that's
why
it's
tough
to
measure
the
success
in
that
portion
and
to
touch
kind
of
on
your
your
talk
about
drug
dealers
selling
these
sorts
of
things.
Q
I,
don't
think
anybody
uses
drugs
with
the
intent
that
they're
going
to
die
or
kill
themselves.
In
my
time,
I
have
investigated
several
or
a
few
crimes
where
the
fentanyl
patches
is
one
that
just
sticks
in
my
head.
Nobody
teaches
these
individuals
how
to
consume
this
stuff
illegally.
We
had
a
young
man
who
I
would
probably
call
him
a
well-versed
person
in
using
drugs
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
smoke
fentanyl.
Q
He
didn't
even
lose
the
the
pen
that
he
inhaled
the
fentanyl
smoke
into
himself
before
he
died.
He
died
with
that
right
in
his
hand,
and
he
had
no
intent
of
doing
that.
It's
just
those
drugs
are
so
powerful
and
they
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
do
to
them,
and
we've
had
a
few
fentanyl
deaths
in
Watertown
over
the
past
few
years.
M
Another
piece
of
that
is
just
having
to
do
with
the
nature
of
addiction.
You
know
the
when,
when
a
person
tries
the
drug,
whether
it's
opiates
or
any
other
drug
they're,
poor
they're,
usually
seeking
that
same
high,
they
got
the
first
time
or
the
second
time
or
the
first
week
or
the
first
month,
and
then
the
the
tolerance
kicks
in
and
then
you
know
it
reaches
a
point
where,
in
order
to
just
feel
normal,
they
have
a
need
for
that
drug
and
opiates
is
one
of
those
drugs.
That's
it's
truly.
M
That
way
you
know,
because
if
they
don't
have
it
so
then
they
they
need
it
and
they
need
more
and
I.
Don't
think
the
drug
dealers
are
necessarily
trained
to
there
they're,
not
there
intention
is
not
to
kill,
but
they
do
want
to
make
it
stronger
and
stronger.
So
the
people
that
have
developed
such
a
tolerance
and
are
using
more
will
get
that
high.
That
they're
seeking.
M
Q
The
other
thing
that
we
never
really
touched
on
here,
we
kind
of
hinted
around
it
and
I,
and
it's
implied
here
the
the
thing
about
opiates
is,
if
somebody's
addicted
to
don't
think
just
a
hydrocodone
or
something
like
that.
If
somebody's
addicted
to
an
opiate,
any
opiate
itself
will
alleviate
those
withdrawal.
Symptoms
no
methamphetamine
is
is
different,
cocaine
is
different.
Marijuana
is
different.
Alcohol
is
different,
but
opiates,
any
opiate
can
take
those
withdrawal
symptoms
away.
Q
So
if
an
individual
is
taking
a
lower
sort
of
opiate
like
a
codeine,
just
something
that
that's
what
they
became
addicted
to
then
the
next
thing
you
know
they're
taking
a
high,
oxycontin
or
or
morphine
pill.
They
may
have
taken
too
much
and
then
they
can
overdose
that
way.
So
that's
the
the
kind
of
tricky
thing
with
opiates
is
any
opiate
will
alleviate
those
withdrawal,
symptoms.
A
Our
prevention
coordinator
for
the
northeast
part
of
the
state
and
so
she'd
be
able
to
connect
you
with
with
resources
as
well.
But
it's
a
network.
We
we
try
to
find
the
best
means
that
we
can
to
help
schools
businesses,
individuals
to
to
address
whatever
social
issues
are
impacting
your
youth.
So
so
what
a
question?
Okay,
one
quick
question
and
as
we're
doing
that,
if
you
take
an
opportunity
to
fill
out
the
evaluation
on
your
tables-
and
you
can
just
leave
them
there
and
then
we'll
end
with
Stephanie's
question
and
then
we'll
have
more
resources.
A
U
Try
to
be
quick,
it's
kind
of
a
three
pronged
question,
so
please,
whoever
has
the
answer
respond.
I
know
last
year
that
South
Dakota
DSS
main
office
was
awarded
two
million
dollar
grant,
a
federal
grant
for
the
use
of
narcan
I'm
wondering
if
Coddington
County
or
who,
specifically,
if
it's
the
police
department,
the
EMS
or
the
Sheriff's
Department,
have
access
to
that
and
then
also
I'm
wondering,
if
anybody's
concerned
about
an
HIV
issue
with
needle
sharing
with
fentanyl,
with
all
these
different
kind
of
crushed
incidences
and
then.
R
To
answer
the
first
two
I'll
that
we
were
talking
before
about
the
limited
facilities,
but
the
narcan
we
actually
just
had
a
training
here
in
town
locally
for
individuals
for
the
narcan.
As
of
right
now
we're
trying
to
train
officers
in
the
field
with
narcan
case
we
get
exposed.
Obviously
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
ourselves
as
well
and
as
far
as
HIV
testing
goes.
You
know
we
have
that
available.
If
somebody
gets
incarcerated,
that's
something
that
is
very
easily
available
to
them.
R
All
they
have
to
do
is
put
a
request
and
that's
something
that
can
be
done
so
I
mean
that
availability
for
confirming
or
denying
that
HIV
is
available
to
them.
If
they're
in
the
system,
it
is
something
that
you
can
go
out
and
actually
get
in
the
community
as
well
for
any
of
those
tests.
It's
very
easy
to
obtain.
So.
M
You
know
it's
it's
it's
a
constant
I
know
our
facility.
We
only
have
16
beds,
so
we
stay
for
most
of
the
time
detox.
We
usually
have
one
or
two
beds.
You
know,
there's
limited
funding
for
staff
and
a
lot
of
times.
Our
people
will
have
to
wait
anywhere
from
a
week
to
a
month
to
six
weeks
to
get
into
a
treatment
facility.
M
M
A
A
M
A
O
M
A
A
All
right,
thank
you
again,
I'd
like
to
thank
our
panel
I'd
like
to
thank
Lucas,
Lake
area
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
tonight,
the
Wiarton,
healthy
youth
coalition
and
the
community
members
coming
tonight.
Thank
you,
Thank
You
Kelly
and
please
fill
out
your
evaluation.
That
will
help
us
to
continue
to
do
programs
and
activities
like
this.
