Looking for sources in a small town

Kendall Powell interviews Jessica Wapner about her reporting in the drug-ravaged town of Austin, Indiana: "It wasn’t easy to find people who were actively using drugs. During my first few days there I spoke with a lot of people, but none who were actively using drugs, even though most people knew someone who was suffering from addiction or who had died from an overdose. The nurses running the needle exchange let me accompany them in their car on the Friday I was there."
