Why Troy Government Workers Struggle with Addiction

Troy has faced significant urban challenges but its government workforce remains a stable professional class with real insurance coverage and real need. Alcohol use disorders are common among long-tenured government workers. Prescription opioids — Percocet, Tramadol — are frequently misused by municipal workers managing chronic pain from physically demanding jobs.
