St. Louis is the second largest city in the state of Missouri, located on the Mississippi River. Opioid abuse is an issue in St. Louis, especially Heroin abuse. The Heroin market in the city has continued to grow, with the number of people entering treatment for Heroin addiction increasing as well. Reports by law enforcement state that the Heroin in St. Louis is pure enough to snort and inject, and it is used as a cheaper alternative to other Opioids.
