There was a report somewhere that estimated that 1 out of seven people-or seven thousand out of 49,000-had substance abuse problems in Huntington, West Virginia. Southern Ohio and West Virginia/Eastern Kentucky have it bad.
Washington Court House, Chillicothe, etc. have had multiple deaths from fentanyl-laced heroin or just bad too-strong heroin 'episodes' where up to dozens of people are overdosing on this stuff at the same time. Same thing has happened in Huntington-even the mayor there carries Narcan with him smh. Some of the people are not found in time or are alone when they OD and are found dead later-they just did not have anyone checking on them during these 'episodes' until it was too late.
Even Kasich addressed it the other day. Treatment centers and mental health facilities are being overwhelmed-especially since a lot of the treatment is court ordered and they legally have to get it.
Also Cbus is now up to 32 homicides...and it was at 24 the same time last year
