July 06--A new program will try to stop the revolving door where heroin addicts find themselves in trouble with the law, in jail and back on the streets only to repeat the cycle.
The Front Door Initiative aims to push heroin and fentanyl users who come into contact with police -- typically through emergency overdose calls -- into outpatient treatment immediately instead of jail. The program will be voluntary.
