Substance Abuse: Substance Abuse
We live in a world where war against drug abuse is a continuous struggle.

Drug Addiction Nebraska: Life and Dirty Windshields
I am a full time parish pastor in McCook, Nebraska and a part time Chaplain at Norton, Kansas and I live in a another town altogether (Oberlin, KS). Needless to say I am on the road a lot. I have much windshield time. When I have patients assigned to me, I have been known to drive to Norton and see my patients, drive up to McCook for drug addiction treatment meetings and visits and then back home all in one long day–and 130 miles later.
