[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am hearing from friends who work with kids (counselors, etc) that heroin absolutely is on the rise and much of it is after an issue with oxycontin or the like.  Heroin is similar and cheaper.   These are affluent kids in Bethesda, McLean, Potomac, Arlington.   Parents need to open their eyes and be very aware of where their kids are, changes in behavior, money they have access to, physical signs, etc.   It's a really hard drug to get off of and relapse with OD is very common.

The burbs don't look like the central cities:

I am not sure I get it.   There are people on heroin in the cities and there are kids experimenting and getting hooked in the suburbs.  I don't think there are a lot of parents going around using heroin if that is your point.   Trust me, when it happens, the kids often leave home and are living on the street or in crappy areas in the city (any city), doing what you do to get money to score.  It's heartbreaking for the families that are going through this, and I know a few.  Let's just say this is not true and I am lying and others on this site are lying.  What would be the harm in opening your eyes to what your kids may do or be exposed to and looking  for warning signs, paying close attention to them?   [/quote]
