Today, the state of Massachusetts is facing major drug addiction and the challenges that arise from it. Heroin, followed closely by other opiates (such as prescription painkillers) and cocaine, are MA’s primary drugs of choice. Marijuana is also available throughout the state. Recently, “club drugs” such as Ecstasy and Ketamine have been on the rise, especially among university students in the Greater Boston area.

Heroin, Massachusetts’ #1 drug addiction, is an especially dangerous and addicting drug. Use often escalates to injection, which can spread blood-borne disease and infection. MA is especially at risk because of a batch of heroin that has made its way throughout New England. This heroin has been laced with another painkiller called Fentanyl. The combination is much more powerful and, as such, more deadly. Users frequently overestimate their tolerance and overdose. Tragically, such cases have already ended in countless deaths.

Drug addiction hurts everyone around it, including more than just the user. Its impact is felt by the victims of crime and the friends and families who watch their loved ones die. Its most innocent victims are babies. In 2013, 17.5 per 1,000 infants were born addicted to narcotics - through no choice of their own. This figure is more than triple the national average. A mother who uses drugs causes her child to become addicted when they are still in the womb. Once born, newborns go through the painful and agonizing experience of withdrawal.
