Drug related deaths are more prevalent than ever and are hitting all races, genders, and socio-economic backgrounds with increasing frequency. The heroin epidemic in particular, continues to devastate the U.S. with heroin related deaths increasing nationwide, according to a new report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heroin use is on the rise with men and women in almost every age group and in all income levels. The heroin epidemic also doubled among eighteen to twenty five year olds with forty five percent being addicted to prescription painkillers.

If you’re reading my testimonial; you probably have been doing a lot of searching on the internet looking for a way to get off of your narcotic of choice. I went from website to chat rooms to this or that…I’ve ended up at Dr. Yee’s sight for a variety of reasons. I am a “middle-age” woman (did I say that)...
