Heroin: Riding the Rush
2014 was the year heroin became an epidemic. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the rise in national heroin overdoses an “urgent public health crisis.” In Pennsylvania, emergency rooms, courtrooms and jails were filled with heroin addicts. Hundreds of community members showed up at town hall meetings and parents who lost children to overdoses started support groups. Pennsylvania joined dozens of states in approving the use of an antidote — naloxone — for overdoses. We’re sharing this wide-ranging reporting from our media partners with our readers here. This is what’s happening in your state, your city, your community.
