Heroin is the most common cause of drug treatment admission in Pennsylvania. It outranks prescription pills, marijuana and cocaine. Experts and public officials have described the state’s heroin problem as an “epidemic.” Within the state, hundreds of people per year are arrested for heroin possession. Many are not so lucky; they die instead of receiving jail time or treatment. Recently, autopsy reports show Pennsylvania’s heroin to be laced with fentanyl - a dangerous combination.
