Opioid epidemic ravages Cape Cod
Elizabeth Cleary, a Cape Cod resident for 33 years and former opiate and heroine user who has now spent the past 10 years of her life sober, poses for a portrait in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, U.S., March 21, 2022. "This needs to be talked about. It's common as cancer or eczema so why are we not acknowledging it? The demographic and generational stuff along the Cape feeds into how the families want to be perceived as it really does affect a child in their recovery," Cleary said about opioid addiction in Cape Cod during an interview with Reuters.
