Heroin Epidemic Slowing Says Drug Chief DuPont
Dr. Robert L. DuPont, head of the White House Drug Abuse Prevention office, said the heroin crisis of the mid 1960s is abating due to more treatment, tougher enforcement, and changing youth attitudes. He noted declines in overdose deaths in Chicago, New York, D C, and San Francisco, and cited expansion of federally funded treatment from 54 to 214 communities.
