The Rise of the Opioid Epidemic
Prescribed to treat chronic pain, opioids and opiates are among the most addictive substances. Since 1999, nearly 500,000 people in the United States have died from opioid-related overdoses involving both prescription and illegal drugs. The rise in deaths began in the 1990s with an increase in opioid prescriptions. In 2010, the country saw a rapid rise in heroin overdoses. Then in 2013, there was a sharp increase in overdoses from fentanyl, which can be manufactured illegally and mixed with other drugs. The potential for addiction and overdose remains dangerously high.
