The heroin epidemic in Connecticut is making headlines again
today, with more than 15 overdoses, including 2 deaths, reported in New Haven
on June 23rd. Officials are
saying that the number of overdoses may rise, as there appears to be a tainted
batch on the streets. Due to the
severity of the situation, city leaders have issued a public health
warning. Additional information on this emerging
story may be found here.
With the number of opioid-related accidental drug intoxication
deaths continuing to rise, prevention of alcohol and other drug use in youth
becomes especially important. According to the Office of National Drug Control
Policy, four out of five heroin users start by developing an addiction to
prescription painkillers. In 2015, the
number of high school students who reported misusing prescription medications
increased to 12 percent. The Center for Disease Control states that abusing
prescription opioids is the strongest risk factor for a heroin addiction. It is
important to remind our youth that using a prescription medication when it is
not prescribed to you is just as dangerous as using an illegal drug.
Tips
Be aware of what is in your medicine cabinet, secure your
medications, and dispose of unused prescriptions at the many prescription
medication drop boxes in Connecticut. View here to find
