The Devil At the Door is... Heroin. Heroin doesn't discriminate. It destroys lives and families and is robbing our community. These pages are the personal Chronicles of loving a child who uses and abuses heroin and opiates. You can also find what I hope to be helpful links, info and resources as well as sometimes whatever is on my mind at the moment... even an occasional venting!
"The number of babies born addicted to drugs in the United States has quadrupled in the last decade, new figures reveal.
Every half an hour a baby is born craving the drug its mother was addicted to, according to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The rise is being blamed on a growing epidemic of painkiller and heroin use currently gripping America.
In this special result, Sky's Nick Martin gains access to a clinic specializing in treating babies born addicted to narcotics."
Without proper treatment and the ability right here in Martinsburg and Berkeley County to provide adequate treatment for these heroin addicted mothers these numbers will continue to sky rocket.
