New England Towns Struggle With Opioid and Heroin Epidemic

GROTON, CT - FEBRUARY 26: Students at Fitch Senior High School listen during a presentation in the school auditorium to educate them about the dangers of opioid painkiller medication and heroin addiction on February 26, 2016 in Groton, CT. The group Communities Speak Out held the event to combat the epidemic of overdoses and deaths sweeping the area. On March 15, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), announced guidelines for doctors to reduce the amount of opioid painkillers prescribed nationwide. The CDC estimates that most current heroin addicts first became hooked on prescription pain medication, and of those, many started as adolescents. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
