Death toll from heroin abuse rising in New York
New York's heroin crisis deepens with more people in the city dying from the drug overdoses than anything else.
Amid a concerted effort to stem prescription pill abuse, city officials have so far been unable to reverse the rise in heroin use and overdoses.
The death toll from heroin has more than doubled over the last three years. The profile of the average user is also amid a shift; significant numbers continue to grow among young white affluent males.
On this edition of Inside Out, we discuss what steps the officials are taking to combat this deadly epidemic and where a recovering addict fits in a city with more drug dealers than rehab centers.
