I work in the state detox in Bridgewater for the past 20 years the new drugs come in waves when I started it was mostly alcohol abuse with some heroin addicts then we had the big Crack epidemic then the huffing then the benzo's now its gone full circle most of the heroin guys are 18 -35 they are committed 30-90 days and come back 3-20 time most they dont want treatment.. Most didn't start using by accident , most of them its what they do for fun its their life style
And sadly the only reason its such a big deal its affecting Affluent white kids out on the cape.. and else where while Crack was seen as a city issue and no one cared
This is just my historical experience Sadly Time and education will be the only things to put a dent in the problem
