    That’s true.

    I don’t know what the answer is but it seems like without something the existing situation is just going to get worse.

      I agree… definitely needs more funding… and the thing is, there are actually treatments for heroin (unlike meth) so it seems crazy to not invest more into the system so it works better and more people can get treatment if they want it.
