heroin. it's important to realize why we are seeing this increase. it's because of opioid painkillers. people who are abusing opioid painkillers are 40 times more likely to be addicted to heroin. if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. it has the same effect on the brain, so people that can no longer access opioid prescriptions will look for something that is easier to obtain or even cheaper. by focusing on opioid prescribing, we can impact the heroin epidemic. there are often unintended consequences. as seen earlier this year in indiana in scott county, the hiv epidemic, 170 individuals newly diagnosed with hiv because they were injecting opioid prescriptions. although this is an extreme example, it can happen in any community in the united states. states are poised to respond to this and must be ready to respond. i wouldn't be here if i didn't think we can make a difference. i am very optimistic that we have the tools we need to have an impact to really curb this epidemic. we did this for car crashes. overdoses have now exceeded car crash deaths. that's because overdoses are going up but we have also seen car crash deaths go down. this was a concerted effo
