Almost every day, Henderson County paramedics respond to frantic calls, people asking for help after a friend or relative has taken too many drugs.  Now, most responders carry the drug Narcan, which can reverse the effects of an overdose and save a life.  But the cost of Narcan has doubled over the past few years.  (Photo credit: WLOS Staff)
The heroin crisis is just as alarming at the Henderson County jail, where 85 percent of today's inmate population is addicted to drugs. Sheriff's Spokesperson Frank Stout says 60 percent of those are opioid addictions. (Photo credit: WLOS Staff)
