Kindness is the answer.
That was the message Thursday night when Northwestern Regional High School held a seminar on addiction. The lightly attended session began with a screening of the documentary, “Uprooting Addiction,” which features the experiences of six Connecticut recovering addicts. The session ended with a panel discussion.
John Simoncelli, executive director of Litchfield-based Greenwood Counseling Referrals, told the audience since June there have been 30 drug-related deaths in Litchfield County.
“People think it is happening in Torrington or even here in Winsted,” he said, “but two-thirds of those deaths were in small towns.”
