Virginia Heroin Abuse

Virginia Suboxone RehabHeroin usage rates have nearly doubled in the state of Virginia in the last 10 years, and in many areas such as Roanoke and Richmond, they are at all time highs. With an influx of black tar heroin coming from Mexico, as well as Virginia being close to many large Eastern Seaboard drug distribution hubs like Boston and New York, Virginia has a large availability of dangerous drugs such as heroin and Oxycontin. Virginia also has some of the lowest prices of heroin and oxycontin across the country. Also, heroin use across Virginia is widespread and affects all areas of the state including urban areas around Richmond as well as more rural and affluent areas as well.

Heroin Abuse

Heroin is an illegal and highly addictive narcotic produced from the seed pods of the opium plant. Heroin is the most widely abused opiate in the state, with oxycontin coming in close second. Heroin is typically sold as a brownish or white powder, or as a black sticky substance also known as black tar. Heroin can be snorted, sniffed, or smoked, but the most popular method is injection, which offers the quickest and most powerful high. Heroin comes with a high risk of addiction and dependence. Also, because it’s impossible for users to accurately know the purity levels of the heroin their taking, as well as what else the heroin is mixed with, it comes with a high risk of overdose, which can often times be fatal.
