What’sCAUSING THIS?
The price of heroin has dropped so low that it is cheaper
than buying liquor or even beer.
It’s just as easy to purchase heroin as alcohol, and dealers
have become good at making it readily available.

Addicts are often sentenced to 30
day treatment programs – which is
not enough to walk away clean.
Many 30 day programs don’t offer
relapse prevention and aftercare.

“ We cannot arrest our way out of this problem”
– Pennsylvania Senator Gene Yaw
Pennsylvania lawmakers and politicians are looking
to change laws so people can get treatment
instead of going to prison.
The new legislation being sought includes bills to
allow the system to track prescriptions issued,
flagging people who might be addicted to
prescription opioids.
