In surveys recently done by The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), 251 or 1.2% of Kentucky's 20,266 Drug and Alcohol abusers admitted themselves into treatment for heroin. Not including the 4,469 state residents who admitted themselves into treatment for either opiates or more than one drug. Studies also show that 98,000 or 2.89% of Kentucky's citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug and alcohol use in the past year. Studies also show that 13.5% of high school students have tried heroin at one time in their lives. The presence of heroin in Kentucky is limited but sources indicate there is a low demand for small amounts in some areas of southeastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Louisville area. When encountered, heroin has usually been found in user amounts, with the sources either Cincinnati or Detroit. However, recent enforcement operations have indicated that Mexican drug trafficking organizations are attempting to widen the heroin market in the state, particularly in the Louisville area. Recent seizures in the Louisville region have totaled over three pounds of Mexican heroin.
