Skoda said most of us know somebody who is either affected with a drug or alcohol problem or a mental health behavior problem that has led to drug use.



"We've had 742 overdoses in the first 6-months of 2016. Last year all together we had 131 opiate deaths, drug overdose deaths. So far this year by July 20th we've had 145," Skoda said.



"You use to have to go the streets to buy your drugs. That is not necessarily the case anymore. These days it is as simple as a click of the mouse and you can buy high potency often deadly drugs on the internet."



"What you may have heard previously is the veterinarian grade anesthesia that was brought in, Carfentanil that was mixed with heroin. Its potency is far greater than morphine and heroin. I heard it is a thousand times more potent. Exactly."



Skoda said if you or someone you know has a problem, please get help. Narcan is available to counteract the effects of heroin.



"Get that person to treatment, even to an emergency room and have them refer for treatment."
