Although larger cities nationwide have recently been approaching opioid addiction as a disease rather than a crime in an approach called “do no harm,” rural areas such as Clovis and Portales take a different stance to opioid use. The new initiative invites drug users to admit their problem to police officers in order to be led to assistance.
