Because we also have opioid receptors in our brain stem – the body’s main control center that is in charge of automatic processes such as blood pressure and breathing – overdosing on heroin can slow and even stop breathing, leading to brain damage or coma. There has been a strong response from both the government and community, with both groups working to find ways to combat the epidemic. “To control these tendencies and save lives, we have to assist in preventing dependency and offer support and treatment to individuals who have problems with opioid use disorders”.

This is most likely due to a more pure heroine, lower overall prices for the drug, and a wider availability. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose. People with the highest risk of using heroin are those who became dependent or who abused prescription opioids during the past year.
