The CDC found fatal heroin overdoses had tripled from 2010 and 2013. Announcing a new study of the extent of heroin use, the agency, along with the FDA and DEA, issued a press release that began: “Heroin use has increased across the United States among men and women, most age groups, and all income levels. The greatest increases have occurred in groups with historically lower rates of heroin use, including women and people with private insurance and higher incomes.”
