It's been a constant topic on these pages over the past several years: the resurgence of meth across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions.
Meth's rise has been accompanied more recently by a resurgence of heroin abuse.
We've stressed that it's going to take a multi-pronged approach to combat the spread of these drugs, one that includes tougher laws and law enforcement, prevention and treatment, and, equally important, heightened community awareness and education.
Most recently, for example, the Steuben County Drug Tip Line led to another meth lab bust.
