Heroin overdose deaths have also spiked, increasing by more than 50 percent between 2007 and 2016, according to the most recently available data from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Heroin use was once relatively rare in the United States, but drug cartels from Latin America have been steadily shipping large quantities into the country. The demand for heroin has also been fueled because it is a cheaper alternative to prescription opioid painkillers that provides a similar high. This book examines the facts about the ongoing heroin crisis. It provides information about the drug cartels and their role in supplying this deadly drug, how heroin is distributed in American communities large and small, and the dangerous effects of the drug on its users" -- $c provided by publisher. 521 2 $a Gr. 7 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 8 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 9 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 10 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 11 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 12 $b UNI 650 0 $a Heroin $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Heroin abuse $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Narcotics $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Heroin. 650 1 $a Heroin abuse. 650 1 $a Narcotics. 650 7 $a Heroin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955599 650 7 $a Heroin abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430477 650 7 $a Narcotics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01032860 650 7 $a Heroin abuse. $2 sears 650 7 $a Heroin. $2 sears 650 7 $a Drug abuse. $2 sears 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 830 0 $a Opioids and opiates. 941 $a 2 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20191001012743.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423014611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64CC9D26658D11E99B4892F996128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
