On January 07, 2024, news broke about a dramatic surge in opioid-related crimes. This caught the interest of *Lisa Parker*, a 34-year-old resident of Chestnut Ridge, New Jersey. Lisa had struggled with substance abuse in her past, and the news triggered memories of her own challenges.

'I thought I had left all of that behind,' Lisa confessed. 'But hearing about all those people falling into the same trap I did, it was like a slap in the face.'

Feeling overwhelmed by the flood of memories, Lisa found solace in the *Stepping Into Action* program offered online at HofmanHollis. She started diligently studying the materials and found herself reflecting deeply on her journey.

'The first thing it teaches you is to face your emotions head-on,' Lisa shared, 'and that's exactly what I needed.'

Experts in the field of addiction have varied opinions. Dr. *Rebecca Greenfield* supports the idea of web-based programs, emphasizing their accessibility and affordability. On the other hand, Dr. *Thomas Evans* argues that face-to-face interactions are crucial for true rehabilitation.

Despite the controversy, Lisa believes she made the right choice. 'I didn't have many local options, but going online was a lifesaver for me.'

Ultimately, the unexpected news story led Lisa to a path of healing and self-discovery, proving that sometimes, what we need most is closer than we think.
