Thursday Apr 2nd, 2015
Drug and alcohol abuse in Baltimore is a very real issue. Last year more people died from overdoses then murder in the Charm City. Heroin is to blame for 143 of those lost lives. "Heroin literally affects every single part of our city,” said Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen. “It's estimated that we have about 19,000 people in our city who are using heroin."
