November 9, 2018 – “Some of the people I talked to, they call it the heroin hug,” Scott explains. “And they said you know, the first time you do it, you just get this secure feeling. It’s almost like a warm embrace, like a hug from your grandma. That’s the way it’s been explained to me. And they said once you feel that you crave it constantly. I can’t imagine being under the control of having to have that.” There was a time when overdose calls were few and far between, but now they’ve become routine not just in North Carolina but across the country. If you ask a first responder about them, they’ll likely have a story for you. Or two. Or three. It’s not stopping.
