Upper Darby takes big step in war on heroin

We used our editorial page today to laud the next step in the war on heroin.

That would be the "Change is Possible" safe haven program unveiled this week by Upper Darby Township Police.

It's one thing to revive those in the midst of a heroin overdose with the miracle drug Narcan. We've been a huge proponent of such actions, especially since the emphasis for the law that got Narcan into the hands of law enforcement is named for an OD victim from right here in Delaware County.

But increasingly, people - including Upper Darby top cop Mike Chitwood - are asking what happens after Narcan.

It's a great question.

This week Upper Darby started to provide some answers.

Here's our editorial.
