Crisis de opioides<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The opioid crisis in the US has been labeled an epidemic. Although it began in the 1990s, there have been recent waves of the crisis that led to the Department of Health and Human Services declaring a public health emergency in 2017.<\/p>\n

As well as addressing the increasing numbers of overdoses, we\u2019re here to look at factors that worsen and improve the situation. These include care, drug production, monitoring, intervention, and prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Opioids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The term opioid covers a broad range of drugs that provide pain relief. Some are related to the original drug, opium, that\u2019s made from the poppy plant, such as morphine. Others are synthesized in the lab, like fentanyl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of these drugs are effective but can be dangerous if misused. There are legal prescription versions and illicit drugs, such as heroin, that fit into the opioids category. The market for licitly manufactured fentanyl has had an impact on the number of synthetic opioid-related deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opioid Crisis Statistics<\/h2>\n

While the impacts of opioid addiction and death can have incalculable impacts on friends, family members, and the individuals themselves, to address the crisis as a whole, it\u2019s helpful to see the scale of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n
