Almost 50,000 people died in 2019 from opioid-involved overdoses in the United States.

Addiction to opioids such as prescription painkillers like OxyContin, synthetic opioids like fentanyl, and heroin has become a public health crisis, costing the country as much as $78.5 billion a year in healthcare, criminal justice, and loss of productivity costs. At first, pharmaceutical companies claimed that prescription opioids were not addictive which led to the over-prescription of opioids and their chronic misuse, causing overdose rates to skyrocket. People often come to opioid painkillers legitimately, for pain mitigation after an accident or surgery and end up addicted and turning to street opioids such as heroin and fentanyl. About 80 percent of heroin users first misused prescription opioids.

Many people who find themselves addicted to opiates had initially been taking them as prescribed for a legitimate ailment. Some started off with occasional recreational use. However, tolerance and dependence develop very quickly and users find themselves struggling to obtain enough to “feel normal”. This can lead to fraudulently obtaining more prescriptions, turning to street dealers, or substituting heroin because it is easier to get. Sadly, many Opioid addiction stories end in overdose, especially with presence of the Fentanyl, a very powerful opioid found in many street opiates.

Here are some warning signs that Opioid Abuse has become a problem:

Prescription Drug Addiction

Use of opiate painkillers such as Oxycontin and Percocet, as well as benzodiazepines like Xanex and Valium can quickly escalate from use to abuse due to the tolerance and dependency that develops from regular use. Stimulants like Adderal are very powerful and can quickly become addictive even when used for legitimate disorders like ADHD and narcolepsy. Pathways can help you learn to cope with your issues without these substances. Detox from these drugs can be dangerous and requires medical supervision.
