Can Anyone Enlighten Me on the Drug Problems in the Appalachian Mts?

Question by Grunge blossom: Can anyone enlighten me on the drug problems in the Appalachian Mts?
I would like to become a drug addiction therapist in the near future. My dream is to help the people of the Appalachian Mts and mining towns of WV who have drug addictions.

Why are drugs a big part of life in the mountains?

thank you, and i hope i did not offend anyone. i understand that many people who live in those regions do not have drug problems. but i watched a show about the drugs that are prevalent there, and it touched me deep inside. i want to help : )
thank you everyone!
Nuit: if i set up a therapy practice for drug addiction somewhere in WV where drugs are very prevalent, would i get clients?
