BY DOUGLAS SOULEEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

While Jake Evans was the 2014-15 WVU Student Government Associa-tion vice president, he was addicted to opioids.

Now, he aims to help students who are in similar situations.

“There’s a lot of people who strug-gle with substance abuse, whether it’s in the shadows or if it’s out in the open, and they don’t really know where to turn,” Evans said.

As a college student with an ad-diction, Evans said he hadn’t known

where to turn. Now, he works as an ad-missions counselor at Tree House Re-covery, the place he credits with sav-ing his life.

Evans’ introduction to opioids

Evans said he was first introduced to opioids during a Model United Na-tions trip, when another student of-fered him a 30 mg Roxicodone pill.

“I stayed busy, because I didn’t like being alone with my own thoughts,” Evans said. “I tried it that one time, and all those cares and worries just went away.”

Evans said he took it throughout the trip. During the bus ride back, he

felt ill.“Almost like I had the flu, and I

couldn’t figure out what it was,” he said. “I started describing it to my dad, and he said, ‘It sounds like you’re going through some kind of phys-ical withdrawal.’ And then it all just clicked.”

As Evans got off the bus, he said the student who had introduced him to the drug told Evans he could hit him up for more.

“As soon as that happened, it cre-ated a backdoor in my mind to escape the feeling I was feeling,” Evans said. “It probably wasn’t 30 minutes before
