My country had a heroine epidemic in the 80s and early 90s. One of the root causes was a shitty economy and chronic unemployment.

All you can do in the end is try to keep things contained. They opened special places were junkies could use their drugs so that they wouldn't have to OD on the streets.

You can't fix someone unless they WANT to be fixed.

Many places that did not have bad economies had heroine epidemics in those times as well. Can you actually show statistically that bad overall economy and heroine epidemics are in any way linked?
