The U.S. Opioid Epidemic

If you believe you or someone you love is developing an opioid addiction, or if you are already suffering from advanced opioid addiction, you are not alone. In response to the ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States, the U.S. department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency in 2017. HHS reported that, in 2018, as many as 10.3 million Americans misused prescription opioids in 2018 and another 2 million had an opioid use disorder.

How did this happen? During the late 1990s, the pharmaceutical industry severely downplayed the addictive qualities of various painkillers. This led to doctors and other healthcare providers prescribing opioid pain relievers at higher rates, leading to greater misuse of both prescribed and unprescribed opioids. Unfortunately, despite pharmaceutical companies’ assurances that these substances were not addictive, the highly addictive nature of opioids soon became apparent.

Now, an estimated 130+ people in the United States die every single day due to opioid-related overdoses, with opioid-related deaths reaching a historical peak of more than 47,000 fatal overdoses in 2017. While opioid-related deaths may have decreased slightly in 2018 to 46,802, this number was still four times higher than totals from 1999.

Other facts about opioid use in the United States courtesy of the National Institute on Drug Abuse:

• Between 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them, with anywhere from 8 to 12 percent developing an opioid use disorder.
• Between 4 and 6 percent of people who misuse prescription opioids eventually transition to using heroin.
• Nearly 80% of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.

What Is Opioid Addiction?

Opioid addiction occurs when a person uses/misuses a type of drug known as an opioid. Also referred to as narcotics or painkillers, opioids are a group of drugs that, in the most basic sense, relieve moderate to severe acute or chronic pain. Prescription opioids include oxycodone (Percocet®, OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), tramadol, fentanyl, codeine, and morphine. Heroin is a non-prescription opioid that is never used for medical purposes in the U.S.

Opioid use/misuse can take many forms and may look like:

• Taking more than the recommended dose of a prescribed medication
• Taking a prescribed opioid for the sole purpose of getting high
• Taking someone else’s prescribed medication
• Ingesting an altered medication or ingesting a medication in a non-prescribed way
• Any use of illicit opioids, i.e. heroin

Typically, opioid dependence/addiction occurs when a person continues taking a drug despite negative consequences, such as physical or financial harm, damage to one’s relationships, loss of employment, and more. Signs of addiction often begin with tolerance, which is the need for an increasing amount of the drug in order to achieve the same effect of feeling high, as well as dependence, which results in a person experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug.

Side Effects of Opioid Use

Even when used properly as instructed by a medical professional, prescription opioids can have a range of mild, moderate, and severe side effects. These side effects can affect an individual’s physical health, as well as his or her mental well-being.

Relatively common side effects of prescription opioid use include:

• Sleepiness
• Sedation
• Confusion
• Incoherence
• Euphoria
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Slowed breathing

When misused, prescription opioids can lead to severely slowed breathing which, in turn, can cause hypoxia. Hypoxia occurs when there is not enough oxygen flow to the brain, often leading to short- and/or long-term brain damage, coma, and death.

Signs of Opioid Overdose

Misuse of prescription opioids can also lead to overdose, which can be fatal.

Signs of opioid overdose include:

• Pale or clammy face
• Blue or purple lips or fingernails
• Limpness
• Gurgling
• Vomiting
• Inability to speak
• Difficulty being roused/awakened
• Slowed or stopped breathing
• Lack of heartbeat/pulse

If anyone is exhibiting any signs of opioid overdose, call 911 immediately.
