This really no help if you got someone on fentanyl trying to help them and they don’t have any insurance plan?? Because a lot of people on fentanyl are younger and their functional and by them being younger, they can hide it and when they get to that zombie like stage, they’re at home?? Hospitals kick them out there’s really no help I’ve tried and it’s my wife. I’m watching her deteriorate. 😢
