Any opioid includes prescription opioids (natural and semi-synthetic opioids and methadone), heroin, and synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl). Opioid-involved overdose deaths rose from 21,089 in 2010 to 47,600 in 2017 and remained steady through 2019. This was followed by a significant increase in 2020 with 68,630 reported deaths and again in 2021 with 80,411 reported overdose deaths.

UNDERSTANDING FENTANYL & OPIOID ADDICTION
BEFORE WE CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM WE FIRST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM…
Understanding fentanyl and opioid addiction involves recognizing the devastating impact of these highly addictive substances on individuals, families, and communities. Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, and other opioids, including prescription painkillers and heroin, bind to receptors in the brain and body, producing feelings of euphoria and pain relief. However, prolonged use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction. Fentanyl, in particular, poses a significant risk of overdose due to its potency. Opioid addiction is a chronic disease that requires comprehensive treatment, including medication-assisted therapy, counseling, support groups, and behavioral therapies. Additionally, efforts to address the opioid crisis must include strategies for prevention, harm reduction, and increased access to treatment and recovery support services. By understanding the nature of fentanyl and opioid addiction, we can better support individuals in their journey to recovery and work towards reducing the devastating impact of this public health crisis.
