The past five years have seen a consistent year-over-year increase in emergency room visits related to heroin of 10% - 15%.
Social issues of addiction focus on how heroin addicts relate to their environment, including interpersonal and family relationships, employment and legal problems.
According to federal government studies, shifts in the international drug market have doubled heroin production since the mid-1980s, leading to lower street prices for the drug. Those same studies conclude there are about eight million heroin abusers worldwide, with approximately a quarter of that group - two million - in the United States.
An astounding 3.5 million people in the United States alone claim to have taken heroin at least once.
