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:

Attempting to fraudulently obtain opioid prescriptions, “doctor shopping”, lying to doctors

Complete loss of motivation

Stealing pills from people who are prescribed opioids

Increased sensitivity to pain, slurred speech, risk-taking behavior, memory loss

Constantly thinking about how to acquire more

You experience intense anxiety, agitation, and powerful cravings when you cannot use opioids

You have begun cutting yourself off from friends or family who don’t participate or approve of your opioid use

A loved one has expressed concern about your use

Continuing to use even though it is negatively affecting your job, finances, and/or relationships

You have tried to stop using opioids but continually relapse

Complete loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

Physical symptoms like aches and pains, impaired motor skills, constipation, sleep problems, and fatigue

You get uncontrollable anger whenever your Cocaine use is challenged

You experience flu-like symptoms and physical pain when you do not use

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.
