Sadly, heroin
usage in our community (and throughout the country) has exploded in the past 7
years, with the number of people who died as a result of a heroin overdose
increasing nearly 400%.  Since 2007,
fatal drug overdoses have been the leading cause of accidental death in the
State of Ohio.  In 2013, this heroin epidemic claimed more
lives in Cuyahoga County
than did homicides.  CATS improves the
lives of men and women struggling with heroin and other addictions and mental
illness.  For 25 years, the agency has
remained steadfast in its mission of providing high quality, cost-effective,
holistic treatment primarily for men and women returning from or involved in
the criminal justice system.  To date,
CATS has served over 34,000 individuals
and their families, with a 78% success rate (defined as those who enter and complete their assigned level of
care).
