There are many cases in Vermont related to painkillers. We watched a movie "The Hungry Heart" which was stories about people in Vermont, abusing painkillers. Many of those cases started out with them getting hurt and being prescribed painkillers then getting hooked. If not that then getting asked to take the pills to just "have fun" and then potentially getting hooked.
