Why Rome Government Workers Struggle with Addiction

Rome's government and school employees face the same Mohawk Valley pressures as Utica — resource-strained public jobs, high caseloads in social services and education, and limited local treatment options. Alcohol is the primary substance. Prescription opioids from genuine injuries are frequently misused. Kratom use is growing as a self-treatment for anxiety and pain management among educators and county workers.
