http://blogs.e-rockford.com/180degrees/2008/05/07/heroin-use-in-area/ Want an inside look at a yearlong project by journalists at the newspaper and the Web site to help Rockford solve serious problems and turn around? We’re focusing on five areas that are key to our way of life in the Rock River Valley: Crime, education, the local economy, state and local government and our culture/sense of place. Would you like to help us in this campaign to bring about change? Give us your ideas and insights and help guide us to better solutions for Rockford. You can join the conversation here.

My little sister started using Heroin about 5 yrs ago and is still using... It has really put a huge heartbreak on our family... I have tried and tried to get my sister help through Rosecrance and have applied several times to interventiontv in hopes she would be chosen. My little sister once had a nice home, beautiful children, stay at home mom, she was beautiful and smart and loving and now she lives homeless in the area of Estate and 7th street on back as far as broadway over to the westside.. I have another sister that is being consumed by crack cocaine and a brother with alcohol and drugs... So these drugs have affected me and family a great deal and weighs on my heart everyday.
