As the heroin and opioid epidemic grows in Pennsylvania, families, treatment providers, law enforcement and policy makers search for ways to tame it.

There's a delicate balance that experts are seeking to find between addiction treatment, criminal charges and prevention of the abuse of prescription drugs and heroin.

The Center for Rural Pennsylvania recently reported on the extent of heroin in all corners of the state.

The process to end the heroin and opioid crisis is the focus of Tuesday's Smart Talk.

Appearing on the program is Sen. Gene Yaw (R-PA), the Chairman of the Center of Rural Pennsylvania, Jack Carroll, Executive Director of the Cumberland-Perry County Drug and Alcohol Commission and Andy Watson, a district attorney in Potter County.
