Heroin Addiction in Tennessee

In a recent report done by News Channel 9 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a heroin drug ring was dismantled and saved from being sold on the streets and injected into the arms of heroin drug addicts.  This latest drug bust leads many to ask the question-Is there a heroin problem in Chattanooga?  Because heroin is inexpensive, one can purchase heroin for $20 to $60 depending on the amount used, makes the opiate one of the most commonly used drugs.  Heroin can be snorted or smoked, however, injecting the drug is what most addicts prefer. 

Caucasian males in their late teen’s to early twenties are the most common users of heroin.  It is a very dangerous drug causing liver, kidney and heart disease among other types of infectious diseases.  Many people who use heroin simply want to get their fix so the sharing of needles is a common practice which puts the user at risk of HIV. 

Heroin addiction in Chattanooga has not seen as much activity as the addiction to methamphetamine, cocaine or marijuana has.  However, because of the I-75 corridor that runs directly through the city and serves as a major thoroughfare for drug trafficking, the drug bust is not surprising. 

Drug addiction treatment centers will more than likely see a spike in heroin addicts looking for treatment in the Chattanooga area because of this major heroin drug bust.  If you or someone you know is addicted to heroin or any substance and would like to speak with a referral specialist who can help guide you to effective drug rehabilitation,  call 1.800.863.9166.  Confidential assessments and referrals are always available.  Or, you can fill out the form on the Get Help page and someone will respond to your request.
