Opiate Overdoses Highlight County Efforts and Arrests
The coroner’s office notes rising opiate overdose deaths in 2016, with about 40 deaths by Nov. 11, and law enforcement naming heroin as the top street drug. The OverdoseFreePA site lags due to processing time and certification delays. Local agencies push naloxone training and recovery resources through Lawrence County Drug and Alcohol and the Recovery Coalition, while a drug task force targets mid and upper level dealers, leading to multiple arrests and pending trials.
