Such a shame...

Do you or someone you know need help with heroin or painkiller addiction? This life-threatening medical condition can now be treated in the privacy of a certified physician's office with prescription medication called buprenorphine (Suboxone/Subutex). Bupe is abuse resistant and has a ceiling to its effects making accidental fatal overdoses unlikely. It also blocks other opioids for days, and is not euphoric to people tolerant to opioids. It has enough opioid effect to stop cravings and withdrawal allowing the patient and their family to make the necessary changes that will translate to sustained addiction remission.

TreatmentMatch.org is a free service from the non-profit organization naabt.org and is a confidential way to find doctors certified to treat opioid addiction in their office.

I hope and pray that this young woman can rehabilitate and eventually carve out a life for herself. However, as someone with a freshman at Neuqua Valley, I'm glad one drug distributer is off the school campus.

Don't be shocked to hear about Heroin in Naperville. As a graduate of NNHS in the ninties, I knew of two students that overdosed on Herion and died. Herion has been an ongoing issue amongst the suburbs. Kids frequently use the Herion Highway to get their fix. Google Herion highway for more info.

Parents be involved with your teens and know who their friends are.

This is the second NVHS student to die of a heroin overdose in the last 12 months. Then we need to factor in the other NVHS student deaths in the same 12 period due to drugs. Parents - if you suspect your child is hanging around someone questionable - don't be afraid to talk to your child. Talk to other parents, call your cell phone provider and request copies of your kids texts, etc. Worry about keeping your child safe and not about whether you are the "cool parent."

dammmnnnnnnnnnn

I forgot the most important tip -if in doubt buy the $40 drug kit at CVS.

Like I said, what a shame...

From the police beat report, she was also charge with manufacture in addition to the delivery charge listed here.

This girl is in the same grade as my son at Neuqua. It's absolutely heartbreaking as she was months away from graduation. Barring some miracle, she's going to do some jail time. I hope she gets the support and help she needs.

You want to ask them why, why would you do this? You have your whole life ahead of you. I would be petrified to even consider doing something like this. She obviously has has some knowledge as to how and what to do in order for her to actually be selling it. WHy?????

i used to know the 21 year old girl. i'm sad to say its not like we didn't see this coming, she's been on this path for years. with these sort of things, there are usually only 2 outcomes; death or prison. thankfully in this case it is the latter of the two, but unless they all decide to make a change, all they can hope for is the first. i have a hard time feeling sorry for people who refuse to make the choice to clean up and live their life.

Yes she is wrong for her actions and she will pay the for her wrong doing...But how did her parents not see she was heading down this horrible path? Classic Neuqua Naperville parenting at its finest. I graduated 2007 from NVHS, the school had a major problem then looks like people have been real proactive.

OMG shut up you all have no idea what your talking about you don't know this girl don't anything about her and her family so shut it!

Heroin is a terrible drug, the worst in my opinion. It hooks young and old and their lives become only about being high. In addition to stealing users ambition, it also kills more people than any other drug. I've known a few beautiful people who lost themselves and their lives to drug use. If you have a loved one who has an addiction to heroin, make sure that they know about the Chicago Recovery Alliance. They provide Naloxone aka Narcan, the antidote for heroin that is used in emergency rooms free of charge and instruct people how to use it. In a perfect world, no one would use that poison, but people will, and no one should have to die, especially young users, when there is a chance that they could turn their lives around. This is something every family with a drug user and every drug user needs to know about. It saves lives and there are no 2nd chances if someone dies from overdose.

I done think that parents are involed in their kids lives, those kids are nothing but spoiled. I grew up on the south side of naperville and our generation was not like that at all....parents, stop worrying how to make a buck and pay attention to your kids.

I know the younger brother to her. He is very nice and his mom is very nice too. So shut up about their family. They are not bad people. She made a stupid mistake.
