According to a CDC report, heroin overdose deaths are increasing across all genders, demographics and geographic areas. In 2016 more than 60,000 Americans died of drug overdose, which is around 21 percent increase in the death toll since 2015. The report attributes this up rise in deaths to the fatalities involving potent synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, which doubled in 2016.

Soaring Death rate by Heroin in the US
The data of 2015-2016 has the death related to heroin increased by 19.5% in the quoted year. Though the figures have increased in almost all age groups, the age group from 25 to 45 witnessed most astonishing increase in death rates. Substance abuse has become one of the most pressing health issues in the US. It is about to be declared as a public health emergency in October. According to September report, drug overdose deaths are reducing the U.S. lifespan.
Heroin addiction is destroying families and spreading its wings all over the demographics. A recent report highlighted that the major concentration of drug abuse is shifting from major cities to small towns having population of even less than 50,000. Various media reports have raised concerns regarding this, as many believe that local authorities are not well equipped to handle this menace or provide adequate support to the victims of substance abuse.
Voices are being raised from different political quarters that America needs to change its attitude towards the drug addicts and should stop treating them as criminals. A more holistic approach should be adopted towards substance abuse, and the addicts should be given mandatory medical assistance rather than being charged with crime.
