Miami-Dade County and its cities, like Doral, FL, are in the middle of a severe substance abuse crisis, much like the rest of the country. Opioid abuse is a particular problem, with the county seeing an increase in the number of fentanyl-and-heroin-caused deaths between 2014 and 2016.2
These increases in heroin use, fentanyl use, and the death tolls for both drugs are at least partially caused by the higher availability and inexpensiveness of these drugs compared to prescription opioids.3 In fact, people who sought treatment for opioid abuse were asked why they switched to heroin if they did so, and one of the main reasons was that heroin was more accessible.3 Addiction is not something that can be controlled by sheer willpower.4 People who develop compulsive patterns of substance use often require comprehensive addiction treatment services that can help to rectify negative behaviors and replace them with healthy coping skills.
No matter what type of opioid drug a person is abusing, tolerance, dependence, overdose, and addiction are all possible outcomes.5 One of the best things you can do to put an end to this cycle is to seek help.
