Narkomania w Huntington - REDUX
EN_01269558_0007
Now a peer counselor at Recovery Point in Huntington, West Virginia, Mike Thomas posed for a portrait on August 19, 2016. Starting in his teenage years, Thomas used alcohol and marijuana before moving into cocaine, eventually crack and meth, and enlisted in the military after high school. When he got out and moved back to Charleston, West Virginia, he was introduced to pills and heroin and quickly became addicted. Thomas is now coming up on a year sober thanks to Recovery Point and is giving back by helping at Recovery Point. On August 15, 26 people overdosed on heroin in a Huntington neighborhood over the course of four hours. All 26 were revived, but there were two other deaths in the area that authorities are unsure as to whether or not they were related. Like many places all over the country, opiates (both pills and heroin) are a massive epidemic.
