One look at our obit pages will tell you the horrific toll heroin and opioid addiction is taking on Delaware County every day.
I've been struck in recent days by the number of families who are deciding to go public with their loved ones struggles by noting it in their obituaries.
Today the county will step up the war on heroin addiction. They will hold a press conference to announce a grant for the county Office of Behavioral Health that will allow them to hire a certified recovery specialist to work with overdose survivors.
It's the question that many - including Upper Darby Police Superintendent Mike Chitwood - has been asking in the wake of the widespread use of Narcan to reverse the symptoms of a heroin overdose.
"What happens after Narcan?"
Today the county will offer some answers to that question.
We'll be there to bring you all the details.
