OVERVIEW

Table of Contents


Millions of Americans suffer from pain and are often prescribed opioids to treat
their conditions. However, the dangers of prescription misuse, opioid use
disorder, and overdose have been a growing problem throughout the United States.

Since the 1990s, when the amount of opioids prescribed to patients began to
grow, the number of overdoses and deaths from prescription opioids has also
increased. Even as the amount of opioids prescribed and sold for pain has
increased, the amount of pain that Americans report has not similarly changed.

From 1999 to 2020, more than 263,000 people died in the United States from
overdoses involving prescription opioids. Overdose deaths involving prescription
opioids nearly increased by five times from 1999 to 20201.
