The Ohio Department of Health has recently released a report that showed the worrying statistic that heroin continues to kill more people than ever before. In fact, in 2013, 983 people died as a result of it. And, frighteningly, prescription drugs continue to kill people as well, with 726 deaths in that same year. Both those numbers are increases from the year before.
Cincinnati's Drug Problem
Unfortunately, Cincinnati, OH, is not immune to the heroin and prescription opioid epidemic either. In fact, a public health crisis has been declared for the city and it has been found that this affects people regardless of their political, social, or economic status. 70% of people who die of an accidental overdose were using either heroin or another type of opioid.
This has given rise to a number of early intervention, prevention, and treatment initiatives. Partnerships have been formed between healthcare providers, addiction and treatment experts, educators, public health professionals, law enforcement departments, and the community itself. It is believed that, thanks to these partnerships, Cincinnati will see a marked improvement in its statistics when it is next investigated.

Between 2013 and 2014, naloxone was administered 101,000 times in the state of Ohio, a tenfold increase from previous years. And this has also lead to a reduction in overdose deaths, particularly in Cincinnati.
