Choosing a Heroin Rehab and Addiction
Treatment Program
The prison system in Connecticut houses many inmates who report drug abuse problems. The Connecticut DOC reports that 88% of the inmates entering the prison system have a substance abuse history. These numbers suggest that more efforts need to be made to get offenders in an effective drug rehab, rather than incarcerating them.
The demand for heroin in Connecticut is becoming greater and greater. There are several reasons for the increased amount of heroin addicts in this state. There is a greater amount available to citizens in Connecticut due to its proximity to New York. Heroin is smuggled in via automobiles, human traffickers and postal services like UPS.

Another explanation for the increased amount of heroin abuse is that heroin is cheaper and more readily available than OxyContin, Vicodan, and other prescription pain killers. The heroin supply in Connecticut is purer than in other parts of the country so users do not always have to inject the drug, instead they can snort it, which appeals to younger users.
