The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) through surveys has concluced that, 17,942 or 37.2% of Connecticut's 79,000 Drug and Alcohol abusers that admitted themselves into treatment for Heroin. Not including the 9,615 state residents who admitted themselves into treatment for either opiates or more that one drug. Studies also show that 79,000 or 2.74% of Connecticut's citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug and alcohol use in the past year. There were also studies that showed 6.9% of High School Males had used heroin at some point in their lives. Demand for heroin is high and is easily accessible. Popularity of heroin is due, in part, to increased availability of low cost, high purity heroin that can be effectively snorted or smoked rather than injected. Abuse remains widespread, affecting both suburban and urban areas. The heroin is primarily being transported into Connecticut from New York City, usually entering the region via one the major interstates in automobiles equipped with hidden hydraulic compartments or "traps."
