Rolling hills, beautiful beaches, and sprawling fields are just a few things you’ll find in “The Free State” of Maryland.

Despite all of the beauty, Maryland deals with one of the worst drug problems in the United States.
Many individuals face drug and alcohol addiction, with opioids being a frontrunner. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Maryland is among the top five states with the highest rates of opioid-related deaths, with its death rate being above the national average since 1999.
