How One Maine Man’s Battle With Opioids Led Him To The ‘structure’ Of A Sober Home

Cody Lemieux is looking for help from above. Every morning before leaving his shared room, he prays to God for support in the battle with addiction that’s tattered his life and cost him custody of his children. He also gets more worldly aid from out of a locked safe upstairs. Lemieux, 29, is one of hundreds of Mainers who pay rent each month at a sober-living home. As the state has sunk deeper into the opioid crisis, scores of these home have sprung up to try to meet people’s desperate need for housing and help fighting their deadly disease.
