An Awareness Journey for Parents of Children in Recovery: Part II prodigal sons By Marimar McNaughton may 2015 In April 2015, the Wilmington Police Department and Coastal Horizons Center warned of increased heroin overdoses. Wilmington Police responded to 10 heroin overdose calls during one weekend and suspected there were more unreported incidents. In each incident the users received life-saving measures from emergency medical personnel and survived the overdose. The WPD warns inexperi-enced 28 WBM and recreational users are not able to tolerate the strength of the heroin being sold on the street. Combining heroin with other drugs — including alcohol — puts the user at the highest risk level for overdose and death. “While we are committed to arresting those who sell and possess illegal drugs we are also mindful of the need for treatment for addiction. We want to encourage heroin users as well as other sub-stance abusers to seek help.” — Ralph Evangelous, Wilmington Chief of Police
