At Amudim we see all types of addiction

We at Amudim see all types of addictions from gambling addiction, porn addiction, sex addiction, substance abuse, alcoholism. These are things that we sadly see a lot more than we would like to, but it's the unfortunate reality of the times that we're in and therefore we need to be able to provide whatever help those that are suffering need. >> You know, first it was prescription opiates that he would buy from people and then the summer of 2013 he started using heroin. Addiction is something that affects many people all across the board.

My wife found him laying on the floor. >> We also need to understand that nobody wakes up one day and decides to be an addict. And usually this is a process and if we can catch it early enough both by prevention through education and awareness programs or by learning early detection when people start, we can actually curb this issue before it gets too far.
