I don't live in Fort Frances, but read this article, and want to say that I hope that other teens from Fort Frances and elsewhere hear this story- especially those who are drug users, addicts, and recovering addicts. There is hope for recovery. I have known addicts myself in the past, and have seen what it does to people.
One thing that this article did not mention really, is that methadone is NOT a replacement drug, and the point on going on methadone, is to help the addict overcome their addiction, and eventually get off methadone, and be totally clean. Staying on methadone can be dangerous, and really, staying on it is just substituting one drug for another.
I hope that Tara continues on her road to recovery, and that anyone else in Fort Frances that does drugs, or anywhere else in the world can also get clean and get back to living their lives again- and hopefully this story can help encourage them to see that first, they have a problem, second to seek help, and third, to start recovery.
This story also shows that drug use, and abuse does not just exist in big cities- it can happen anywhere, and to anyone.
Tara- keep strong, and you will be able to achieve whatever you want!
