Author Sam Quinones, who wrote “Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic,” told a Delaware audience Oct. 27 that an influx of prescribed opiate painkillers, Americans believing they were “entitled to a life without pain,” a flood of cheap heroin from Mexico and the breakdown of community all contributed to the nightmare of the addiction epidemic. Quinones was brought to Delaware by First Lady Carla Markell and atTAcK addiction, a grassroots group of parents and other individuals who have been impacted by the epidemic. In introducing Quinones, the First Lady said “Dreamland” was a “riveting read.”
Quinones points to 1996 as the year that the prescribing of oxycodone and hydrocodone “rise like a plane taking off.” But he said it was the introduction of OxyContin by Purdue Pharma in 1996 that has caused the most harm downstream. “We would not have a heroin problem today if not for Oxycontin. … Here is a story about a drug nightmare created by the private sector.”
Quinones said there is not one solution to the addiction epidemic, but a series of solutions that communities – increased treatment services, availability of naloxone, increased prevention efforts, regulation of prescriber habits, law enforcement interrupting the supply chain, rethinking jail, respecting Public Health folks – need to take. And one overriding factor, “The antidote to heroin is not naloxone, it is community. … We spent the last 35 years in America destroying community.”
In a panel discussion that followed his talk, DHSS Secretary Rita Landgraf ticked off increased prevention, treatment and recovery services supported by the Governor and the General Assembly, but “what we want to support is communities that support recovery. Recovery lasts a lifetime.”
Don Keister, who founded atTAcK addiction with his wife, Jeanne, after they lost their son Tyler to an accidental heroin overdose, said he sees that sense of community in the group’s annual 5K, which drew 2,000 people in March 2016. Next, he said the group would like to support a sober high school.
Attorney General Matt Denn said law enforcement needs to keep interrupting drug dealers and working further up the chain. “We have to deal with the supply side. It’s critical that we do.”
Dr. Daniel Headrick, founder of Tres Vistas Recovery, said people who in recovery from heroin addiction must begin with “a 90-day brain healing project.” He said the impact on the brain chemistry from opiates is “hard to unwind.”

Hillbilly heroin’s dark side has only recently become apparent. Addiction to the low-abuse drug has reached near-epidemic proportions, with 140 people a year in Ontario alone dying from overdoses related to the drug, more than are killed in drowning mishaps, according to the province’s coroner. Victims include street users, people taking what their doctor prescribed and those getting OxyContin from both legal and underground sources. Small communities in British Columbia largely untouched by the scourge of hard drugs are discovering a similar danger that some consider even tougher to tackle because it's handed out with a doctor's blessing. So called hillbilly heroin is a prescription pain killer that's been badly abused in parts of Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Quebec, partly because it's easier for addicts to get than the real stuff and has therefore become popular in rural areas. Deaths from opioid pain relievers increased from 13.7 deaths per million residents in 1991 to 27.2 deaths per million residents in 2004. The abuse of oxycodone in Canada became a problem. Areas where oxycodone is most problematic are Atlantic Canada and Ontario, where its abuse is prevalent in rural towns, and in many smaller to medium-sized cities. Oxycodone is also widely available across Western Canada, but methamphetamine and heroin are more serious problems in the larger cities, while oxycodone is more common in rural towns. Oxycodone is diverted through doctor shopping, prescription forgery, pharmacy theft, and overprescribing
Only in 2014, 8,200 people died from heroin overdose. About 17,000 died from opioid therapeutics. Sales of prescription medications have skyrocketed, with an increase in retail sales of 1293% for methadone, 866% for Oxycodone, and 525% for Fentanyl from 1997–2007.

Each year more people die from drug overdose than from car accidents or gun violence. Approximately one in five high school seniors reports misusing prescription drugs at least once in their lifetime. A national study in 2014 found that that very year 1.4 million people had abused a prescription painkiller for the first time. Most people who start abusing prescription painkillers usually got the first one from a friend or relative. It’s relatively easy to become addicted to prescription painkillers such as oxycodone. In fact, a person can become addicted with just one prescription. Most users will agree that it is the most addictive drug they have ever taken. And the minute that drug reaches a person’s bloodstream, he or she will lose control of what it does in their bodies. One woman tells how when her doctor could no longer fill her prescription, she started getting it off the street but it was too expensive. It was then that a friend introduced her to heroin. Chemically, there’s little difference between oxycodone, morphine, and heroin. Just that one comes in a prescription bottle. Contrary to popular belief, many of those whose lives are ruined by drug addiction come from stable homes with good families. Many of them had great childhoods in which all their needs were met, but they took one wrong turn and were hooked. Once that happens it becomes very difficult to get off the drugs. Many of those interviewed admit that they began experimenting with marijuana at a very young age, sometimes before age 12. Each of them eventually graduated to harder drugs and became addicted while still in their early teens. None of them stopped to think about what they were getting into, they just did it. One young man compares being addicted to opiates to chasing a dragon; you’re constantly seeking that first high, that euphoria. What used to cause the sensation at the beginning, won’t work after a while and so the person has to take it to the next level. Nobody sets out thinking that he or she will become a needle-user, but everyone ends up walking down that road. This film was released by the FBI and the DEA in order to present the reality of drug abuse in such a way that young people would think twice before falling into the trap of addiction. The raw truth is presented in unscripted interviews with some of those who have lived with the consequences of addiction. There is a lot of emotions and profanity as they express what really happens when drugs take over the lives of real people. Every generation seems to have its drug of choice. This generation seems to be obsessed with drugs that have consequences that are more devastating than anything in the past. Watch this provocative film now.

Suboxone is basically a combination of medications, which contains naloxone and buprenorphine. This is the main medication that is used for opiate addiction treatment therapy (medication-assisted therapy or MAT). MAT has shown to successfully lower the risks of fatal overdose by almost 50%. Suboxone works by binding tightly to the same receptors as other opiates in the brain of the addict. Opiates can be heroin, oxycodone and/or morphine.

Well, not really. That's my copy of Vogue. I wanted something brainless to read on the way home. Unfortunately, I forgot that the thing is 99% ads, and the articles that are in there have to describe what everyone is wearing while they're being interviewed. We had a good chuckle on the way home as I read the Winona Ryder interview. She blames her shoplifting on the painkiller Oxycodone. I guess she's saying she was too confused to know if she had paid for her stuff or not. Um...yeah.
When Lisa Marie Presley passed away at the age of 54 back in January, it was widely believed that the only daughter of Elvis Presley had succumbed to her battle with addiction.
Now, Presley’s cause of death has been revealed, and while drugs were involved, it seems the situation is more complicated than we initially realized.
According to the official report from the LA County Medical Examiner’s office, Lisa Marie died from a small bowel obstruction.
But while it was not an overdose that claimed Lisa Marie’s life, her long battle with substance abuse still played a role in her untimely passing.

According to a new report from TMZ, Lisa Marie was on and off of opiates throughout her adult life.
She underwent some sort of cosmetic “a few months” before her death, and it seems the painkillers she was prescribed during her recovery set off a catastrophic domino effect.
Lisa Marie had Oxycodone in her blood at the time of her death, but not enough to kill her.

She also had “therapeutic levels” of Buprenorphine, an opioid that’s prescribed to help wean addicts off of stronger stuff.

Relaxing in the back yard, slightly edited in Elements. We're making a lot of pack visits to different specialists, trying to gather information about what is the best pain control treatment for Savannah. We saw two ortho vets last week, with another ortho vet and a pain management vet scheduled for next week. This was supposed to be stem cell therapy week, but I postponed it until I had a chance to talk to these other vets.
Happily, she's doing better since we took her off the oxycodone, in spite of what veterinary literature says about which meds should work the best for pain control!
As usual, Savannah has hijacked everything, says Moqui! But in truth, he's being a great sport, and is happy to tag along on all our visits
