About Heroin Abuse and Addiction
The opioid epidemic has been at the forefront of the news for many years as information about the addictiveness of prescription pain medication like Oxy made the headlines. Heroin is often a more easily accessible drug because it can be accessed without a prescription and is less expensive than prescription-grade opioids sold on the street. Close to a million Americans are dealing with a heroin use disorder (HUD) and are in need of professional support.
