But today’s heroin crisis is different. While heroin use has climbed among all demographic groups, it has skyrocketed among whites; nearly 90 percent of those who tried heroin for the first time in the last decade <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24871348">were white</a>.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="314" data-total-count="1830" itemprop="articleBody">And the growing army of families of those lost to heroin — many of them in the suburbs and small towns — are now using their influence, anger and grief to cushion the country’s approach to drugs, from altering the language around addiction to prodding government to treat it not as a crime, but as a disease.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="442" data-total-count="2272" itemprop="articleBody">“Because the demographic of people affected are more white, more middle class, these are parents who are empowered,” said <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/26/us/michael-botticelli-is-a-drug-czar-who-knows-addiction-firsthand.html">Michael Botticelli</a>, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, better known as the nation’s drug czar. “They know how to call a legislator, they know how to get angry with their insurance company, they know how to advocate. They have been so instrumental in changing the conversation.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="114" data-total-count="2386" itemprop="articleBody">Mr. Botticelli, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 26 years, speaks to some of these parents regularly.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="337" data-total-count="2723" itemprop="articleBody">Their efforts also include lobbying statehouses, holding rallies in Washington and starting nonprofit organizations, making these mothers and fathers part of a growing backlash against the harsh tactics of traditional drug enforcement. These days, in rare bipartisan or even nonpartisan agreement, punishment is out and compassion is in.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="242" data-total-count="2965" itemprop="articleBody">The presidential candidates of both parties are now talking about the drug epidemic, with Hillary Rodham Clinton hosting forums on the issue as Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina tell their own stories of loss while calling for more care and empathy.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="404" data-total-count="3369" itemprop="articleBody">Last week, President Obama traveled to West Virginia, a mostly white state with high levels of overdoses, to discuss his $133 million proposal to expand access for drug treatment and prevention programs.

In Gloucester, Mass., those who walk into the police station and ask for help, even if they are carrying drugs or needles, are no longer arrested. Instead, they are diverted to treatment, despite questions about the police departments’ unilateral authority to do so.

<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="169" data-total-count="10371" itemprop="articleBody">But today, with heroin ravaging largely white communities in New England, the Northeast and the Midwest, and with violent crime largely down, the mood is more forgiving.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="382" data-total-count="10753" itemprop="articleBody">“Both the image and reality is that this is a white and often middle-class problem,” said Mr. Mauer of the Sentencing Project. “And appropriately so, we’re having a much broader conversation about prevention and treatment, and trying to be constructive in responding to this problem. This is good. I don’t think we should lock up white kids to show we’re being equal.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="244" data-total-count="10997" itemprop="articleBody">So officers like Eric Adams, a white former undercover narcotics detective in Laconia, are finding new ways to respond. He is deployed full time now by the Police Department to reach out to people who have overdosed and help them get treatment.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="331" data-total-count="11328" itemprop="articleBody">“The way I look at addiction now is completely different,” Mr. Adams said. “I can’t tell you what changed inside of me, but these are people and they have a purpose in life and we can’t as law enforcement look at them any other way. They are committing crimes to feed their addiction, plain and simple. They need help.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="115" data-total-count="11443" itemprop="articleBody">Often working with the police, rather than against them, parents are driving these kinds of individual conversions.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="270" data-total-count="11713" itemprop="articleBody">Their efforts include attempts to recast addiction in a less stigmatizing light — many parents along with treatment providers are avoiding words like “addict” or “junkie” and instead using terms that convey a chronic illness, like “substance use disorder.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="620" data-total-count="12333" itemprop="articleBody">Some are advocating for large umbrella organizations. Jim Hood, 63, of Westport, Conn., who lost his son, Austin, 20, to heroin three years ago, and Greg Williams, 31, of Danbury, Conn., who is in long-term recovery from substance abuse, organized the Oct. 4 “Unite To Face Addiction” rally in Washington. Featuring musicians like Joe Walsh, Steven Tyler and Sheryl Crow, it brought together more than 750 addiction-related groups that are now collaborating to create a national organization devoted to fighting the disease of addiction on the scale of the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="184" data-total-count="12517" itemprop="articleBody">Mr. Hood, a successful businessman, said the fledgling organization, Facing Addiction, was raising money for research and planned to create an authoritative, consumer-friendly website.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="76" data-total-count="12593" itemprop="articleBody">When he tried to find help for Austin, he said he had no idea where to turn.</p><figure id="media-100000003955835" class="media photo embedded layout-large-horizontal media-100000003955835 ratio-tall" data-media-action="modal" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope="" itemid="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/10/03/us/00heroin-web08/00heroin-web08-articleLarge.jpg" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" aria-label="media" role="group">

</div><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="340" data-total-count="13102" itemprop="articleBody" id="story-continues-10">Ginger Katz of Norwalk, Conn., has equally lofty goals. After her son, Ian, 20, died of a heroin overdose in 1996, she founded <a href="https://www.couragetospeak.org/">the Courage to Speak Foundation</a> to try to end the silence surrounding addiction, and she has developed a drug-prevention curriculum for schools. She is still traveling the country speaking to students and parents.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="514" data-total-count="13616" itemprop="articleBody">Doug and Pam Griffin are also trying to connect with other parents. Mr. Griffin, a warm and friendly man, whose walrus mustache has turned gray and whose face bears the lines of exhaustion, still runs his computer hardware business. His wife works for an I.T. provider, and their older daughter, Shannon, runs a flower shop. But they are always thinking about Courtney — her pastel bedroom is as she left it, with the schedules of meetings of Narcotics Anonymous taped to what she called her “recovery wall.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="78" data-total-count="13694" itemprop="articleBody">“We’ve pretty much given up what used to be our life,” Mr. Griffin said.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="474" data-total-count="14168" itemprop="articleBody">In addition to testifying at hearings and forums, the Griffins take calls day and night from parents across the country who have read their story and want to offer an encouraging word or ask for advice. They are establishing a sober house, named after Courtney. And they host a potluck dinner and church service once a month on Sunday nights at the First Baptist Church in nearby Plaistow, where they held Courtney’s funeral, for people with addictions and their families.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="385" data-total-count="14553" itemprop="articleBody">At the Sunday night service last month, more than 75 people, some from out of state, filled the pews. Among them was the family of Christopher Honor, who was Courtney’s boyfriend. He was also addicted to heroin. Last month, almost a year after Courtney’s death, Chris, 22, died of an overdose — the 23rd overdose and third fatal one this year in Plaistow, a town of 8,000 people.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="346" data-total-count="14899" itemprop="articleBody">Chris’s mother, Amanda Jordan, 40, wanted to attend the Sunday night service last month, but it was just two weeks after she had buried Chris, and she worried it might be too soon to go back to that church, where Chris’s funeral was held. She sometimes thinks Chris is still alive, and at his funeral she was convinced he was still breathing.</p><button class="button comments-button theme-speech-bubble" data-skip-to-para-id="story-continues-11">

<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="390" data-total-count="15289" itemprop="articleBody" id="story-continues-11">She was afraid she would fall apart, but she and other family members decided to go anyway. During the service, her son Brett, 18, became so overwhelmed with emotion that he had to leave, rushing down the center aisle for the outside. Ms. Jordan, also distraught, ran after him. Then a family friend, Shane Manning, ran after both of them. Outside, they all clutched one another and sobbed.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="328" data-total-count="15617" itemprop="articleBody">“I’m a mess,” Ms. Jordan said after coming back inside and kneeling in front of a picture of Chris. In addition to yearning for her son, she had been worried that the Griffins blamed her for Courtney’s death. But at the church, the Griffins welcomed her. In their shared pain, the two aching families spoke and embraced.</p><p data-node-uid="1" class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="430" data-total-count="16047" itemprop="articleBody">Ms. Jordan, one of the more recent involuntary members of this club of shattered parents, said that someday, when she is better able to function, she “absolutely” wants to work with the Griffins to “help New Hampshire realize there’s a huge problem.” Right now she just wants to hunt down the person who sold Chris his fatal dose. “These dealers aren’t just selling it,” she said. “They’re murdering people.”</p>

But today’s heroin crisis is different. While heroin use has climbed among all demographic groups, it has skyrocketed among whites; nearly 90 percent of those who tried heroin for the first time in the last decade <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24871348">were white</a>.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="314" data-total-count="1830" itemprop="articleBody">And the growing army of families of those lost to heroin — many of them in the suburbs and small towns — are now using their influence, anger and grief to cushion the country’s approach to drugs, from altering the language around addiction to prodding government to treat it not as a crime, but as a disease.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="442" data-total-count="2272" itemprop="articleBody">“Because the demographic of people affected are more white, more middle class, these are parents who are empowered,” said <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/26/us/michael-botticelli-is-a-drug-czar-who-knows-addiction-firsthand.html">Michael Botticelli</a>, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, better known as the nation’s drug czar. “They know how to call a legislator, they know how to get angry with their insurance company, they know how to advocate. They have been so instrumental in changing the conversation.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="114" data-total-count="2386" itemprop="articleBody">Mr. Botticelli, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 26 years, speaks to some of these parents regularly.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="337" data-total-count="2723" itemprop="articleBody">Their efforts also include lobbying statehouses, holding rallies in Washington and starting nonprofit organizations, making these mothers and fathers part of a growing backlash against the harsh tactics of traditional drug enforcement. These days, in rare bipartisan or even nonpartisan agreement, punishment is out and compassion is in.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="242" data-total-count="2965" itemprop="articleBody">The presidential candidates of both parties are now talking about the drug epidemic, with Hillary Rodham Clinton hosting forums on the issue as Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina tell their own stories of loss while calling for more care and empathy.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="404" data-total-count="3369" itemprop="articleBody">Last week, President Obama traveled to West Virginia, a mostly white state with high levels of overdoses, to discuss his $133 million proposal to expand access for drug treatment and prevention programs.

<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="169" data-total-count="10371" itemprop="articleBody">But today, with heroin ravaging largely white communities in New England, the Northeast and the Midwest, and with violent crime largely down, the mood is more forgiving.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="382" data-total-count="10753" itemprop="articleBody">“Both the image and reality is that this is a white and often middle-class problem,” said Mr. Mauer of the Sentencing Project. “And appropriately so, we’re having a much broader conversation about prevention and treatment, and trying to be constructive in responding to this problem. This is good. I don’t think we should lock up white kids to show we’re being equal.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="244" data-total-count="10997" itemprop="articleBody">So officers like Eric Adams, a white former undercover narcotics detective in Laconia, are finding new ways to respond. He is deployed full time now by the Police Department to reach out to people who have overdosed and help them get treatment.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="331" data-total-count="11328" itemprop="articleBody">“The way I look at addiction now is completely different,” Mr. Adams said. “I can’t tell you what changed inside of me, but these are people and they have a purpose in life and we can’t as law enforcement look at them any other way. They are committing crimes to feed their addiction, plain and simple. They need help.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="115" data-total-count="11443" itemprop="articleBody">Often working with the police, rather than against them, parents are driving these kinds of individual conversions.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="270" data-total-count="11713" itemprop="articleBody">Their efforts include attempts to recast addiction in a less stigmatizing light — many parents along with treatment providers are avoiding words like “addict” or “junkie” and instead using terms that convey a chronic illness, like “substance use disorder.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="620" data-total-count="12333" itemprop="articleBody">Some are advocating for large umbrella organizations. Jim Hood, 63, of Westport, Conn., who lost his son, Austin, 20, to heroin three years ago, and Greg Williams, 31, of Danbury, Conn., who is in long-term recovery from substance abuse, organized the Oct. 4 “Unite To Face Addiction” rally in Washington. Featuring musicians like Joe Walsh, Steven Tyler and Sheryl Crow, it brought together more than 750 addiction-related groups that are now collaborating to create a national organization devoted to fighting the disease of addiction on the scale of the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="184" data-total-count="12517" itemprop="articleBody">Mr. Hood, a successful businessman, said the fledgling organization, Facing Addiction, was raising money for research and planned to create an authoritative, consumer-friendly website.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="76" data-total-count="12593" itemprop="articleBody">When he tried to find help for Austin, he said he had no idea where to turn.</p><figure id="media-100000003955835" class="media photo embedded layout-large-horizontal media-100000003955835 ratio-tall" data-media-action="modal" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope="" itemid="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/10/03/us/00heroin-web08/00heroin-web08-articleLarge.jpg" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" aria-label="media" role="group">

After her son, Ian, 20, died of a heroin overdose in 1996, she founded <a href="https://www.couragetospeak.org/">the Courage to Speak Foundation</a> to try to end the silence surrounding addiction, and she has developed a drug-prevention curriculum for schools. She is still traveling the country speaking to students and parents.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="514" data-total-count="13616" itemprop="articleBody">Doug and Pam Griffin are also trying to connect with other parents. Mr. Griffin, a warm and friendly man, whose walrus mustache has turned gray and whose face bears the lines of exhaustion, still runs his computer hardware business. His wife works for an I.T. provider, and their older daughter, Shannon, runs a flower shop. But they are always thinking about Courtney — her pastel bedroom is as she left it, with the schedules of meetings of Narcotics Anonymous taped to what she called her “recovery wall.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="78" data-total-count="13694" itemprop="articleBody">“We’ve pretty much given up what used to be our life,” Mr. Griffin said.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="474" data-total-count="14168" itemprop="articleBody">In addition to testifying at hearings and forums, the Griffins take calls day and night from parents across the country who have read their story and want to offer an encouraging word or ask for advice. They are establishing a sober house, named after Courtney. And they host a potluck dinner and church service once a month on Sunday nights at the First Baptist Church in nearby Plaistow, where they held Courtney’s funeral, for people with addictions and their families.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="385" data-total-count="14553" itemprop="articleBody">At the Sunday night service last month, more than 75 people, some from out of state, filled the pews. Among them was the family of Christopher Honor, who was Courtney’s boyfriend. He was also addicted to heroin. Last month, almost a year after Courtney’s death, Chris, 22, died of an overdose — the 23rd overdose and third fatal one this year in Plaistow, a town of 8,000 people.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="346" data-total-count="14899" itemprop="articleBody">Chris’s mother, Amanda Jordan, 40, wanted to attend the Sunday night service last month, but it was just two weeks after she had buried Chris, and she worried it might be too soon to go back to that church, where Chris’s funeral was held. She sometimes thinks Chris is still alive, and at his funeral she was convinced he was still breathing.</p><button class="button comments-button theme-speech-bubble" data-skip-to-para-id="story-continues-11">

During the service, her son Brett, 18, became so overwhelmed with emotion that he had to leave, rushing down the center aisle for the outside. Ms. Jordan, also distraught, ran after him. Then a family friend, Shane Manning, ran after both of them. Outside, they all clutched one another and sobbed.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="328" data-total-count="15617" itemprop="articleBody">“I’m a mess,” Ms. Jordan said after coming back inside and kneeling in front of a picture of Chris. In addition to yearning for her son, she had been worried that the Griffins blamed her for Courtney’s death. But at the church, the Griffins welcomed her. In their shared pain, the two aching families spoke and embraced.</p><p data-node-uid="1" class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="430" data-total-count="16047" itemprop="articleBody">Ms. Jordan, one of the more recent involuntary members of this club of shattered parents, said that someday, when she is better able to function, she “absolutely” wants to work with the Griffins to “help New Hampshire realize there’s a huge problem.” Right now she just wants to hunt down the person who sold Chris his fatal dose. “These dealers aren’t just selling it,” she said. “They’re murdering people.”</p>
