Opioids in New Hampshire
For the last decade, New Hampshire has found itself in the middle of an opioid crisis, one that can often seem never-ending. While there has been much press coverage, both in the state and nationally, about New Hampshire’s plight, this series aims to look at it differently, from the perspective of individuals most affected by it — users, their families, and frontline healthcare workers, all of whom live the crisis every day.
As author Anthony Tone Payton writes: “This series was meant to connect people with more than numbers and statistics. Few methods are more effective at humanizing than through the lens of story. I wrote this series with ‘story’ and ‘names’ in mind. I wanted to take people into the heart of this epidemic and get invested in the person and their story.
