The entire Tri-State area is in crisis. AIDS, HEPC, opioids, all of it. I have put some articles here if you wish to read the ongoing war. I have seen road signs into KY telling drivers to contact state police if they see unusual driving. I know children who know how to prepare heroin from watching their parents. I've have many students who's parent or parents are in either rehab or jail. 95% of arrests are in one fashion or another, drug related. Huntington arrests pushers constantly, coming from Detroit or Columbus. I have seen parents arrested driving around, baby in seat, with a Shake 'N Bake meth operation cooking in the back. Houses blow up for no reason. It is horrible. Scotio County is just a mile down the highway from here, but we are all in the same boat.

I know from very personal experience how badly HepC can ruin a person for years. Sometimes they don't find out for years, especially if they are not IV drug users. The current HepC meds cost 100K for 12 weeks of treatment.
