		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County health officials told the County Council on Tuesday they don’t know how many drug overdose deaths there were in the county last year and don’t know how many heroin addicts there are locally—but state statistics show the county is second only to Baltimore City in drug deaths. In contrast, county Sheriff Scott Adams had detailed data on how his new programs are working to combat drug addiction among jail inmates. Another issue raised during the County Council’s worksession was whether to create a “needle exchange” program in the county, with health officials supporting the idea while the Sheriff voiced concerns about “enabling” drug addicts to get free drug needles while state laws prohibit drug “paraphernalia.” Under extended questioning by County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1), the county’s health officer, Stephanie Garrity, said she didn’t know how many heroin addicts there are in Cecil County and did not know how many drug overdose deaths there were in the county last year. “I don’t have that,” Garrity said about heroin addiction numbers. And county health department officials also could not answer McCarthy’s questions about the numbers of fatal drug overdoses in the county in the past year and how they compared [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report New state figures for the first quarter of 2014 show that Cecil County is on track for a possible record number of drug overdose deaths this year, with 10 deaths in the first three months, and if that pace continues the drug death toll could far exceed past levels. Heroin deaths were also sharply higher so far this year. The new data, compiled by the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, covered the first three months of this year. The statewide statistics did not break the figures down on a pro-rated population basis, but even so, Cecil County shows numerical drug death figures equal to some other counties with as much as ten times the overall Cecil population. Governor Martin O’Malley recently discussed the new drug overdose fatalities data, saying that his administration was committed to reducing drug overdose deaths statewide by 20 percent by 2015. The governor said that the new first-quarter 2014 statistics showed there was a 33 percent increase in drug overdose deaths statewide from the same time last year.
