Finding the Fix

Heroin's Hold on on the Heartland

Some web content from Indiana Public Media is unavailable during our transition to a new web publishing platform. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It’s been called “Ground Zero.”

Heroin addiction along the shared borders of southern Ohio, southern Indiana and northern Kentucky has sparked an unprecedented increase in overdose deaths and contractions of HIV and Hepatitis C.

Finding the Fix explores the increasing epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse and addiction in the Midwest — produced by WFIU/WTIU in partnership with a team from Northern Kentucky University, Indiana University and Franklin College.
