Heroin-related deaths in New Hampshire remain a significant concern despite fentanyl becoming more prevalent in the drug supply. Many heroin users in the state transitioned from prescription opioid misuse, following a well-documented pipeline from pills to injection drug use.
New Hampshire has been one of the states hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. In response, the state has expanded access to naloxone (Narcan) to combat heroin and opioid overdoses, making it available at pharmacies without a prescription and distributing it through community outreach programs.
These aren’t just statistics — they represent families in Salem, Derry, Nashua, Manchester, and across the region who need access to compassionate, evidence-based heroin addiction treatment.

Heroin addiction carries an immediate risk of fatal overdose, especially with fentanyl-contaminated supply. Learn the signs of overdose: blue lips, shallow breathing, unresponsiveness. Keep naloxone (Narcan) accessible — it can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.
Naloxone is available at NH pharmacies without a prescription. Keep it in your home, car, and bag. Learning to administer it takes minutes and could mean the difference between life and death. Ask your pharmacist or call Trailhead for guidance.
There’s a difference between supporting someone and enabling their heroin use. Stop giving money, making excuses, or shielding them from consequences. Enabling delays the moment they recognize they need help. Express concern honestly and offer treatment as a solution.
Because heroin addiction escalates quickly and overdose risk is high, waiting for them to “hit bottom” can be fatal. A professional interventionist can help your family create a structured, compassionate plan to motivate your loved one to accept treatment before it’s too late.
If your loved one is actively using, reduce harm where possible. Dispose of needles safely, avoid sharing injection equipment, and encourage them to use clean supplies. Harm reduction saves lives and keeps the door open to recovery.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. We offer individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and opioid addiction education.
Call for Family SupportIt’s common for people struggling with heroin addiction to resist treatment. With the risk of fatal overdose, time is critical — but there are effective approaches even when someone isn’t ready.
