WASHINGTON OFFERS LITTLE HELP IN CURBING HEROIN EPIDEMIC
We all know heroin use is an epidemic in our area. But what are our
local leaders and institutions doing or not doing to fight it? This
year the Enquirer will be focusing on accountability and solutions to
the region's heroin problems.
WASHINGTON - Shawn Ryan needs Congress to lift the federal cap on the
number of heroin addicts he can treat, so he and other
Cincinnati-area physicians don't have to turn away patients desperate
to stop using.
Charmaine McGuffey needs funding for a medical detox unit, so she and
other officials at the Hamilton County Jail don't have to rely on flu
medicine for inmates in severe withdrawal.
