[edit | edit source]
Drug overdose deaths are on the rise in the United States. The CDC reported that in 2014 overdose deaths increased 6.5% from the previous year (1). The report also stated that since 2000, overdose death rate had risen 137% (1). Of this rise in overdose deaths 61% was attributed to some type of opioid, with synthetic opioid being the leading of categories examined (1). 78 people die per day due to opioid drug abuse (2).
Results of the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported the impact of opioid use disorders among varying demographics. When examining age, the survey found that roughly 586,000 Americans age 12 or older had a heroin use disorder, with average first use age being 28 (3). An estimated 1.9 million Americans age 12 or older reported a pain reliever use disorder (3). Opioid use disorder is more common with males than females with the highest abuse rates among the Native American population (4).
A recent study performed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found a trend in among nonmedical pain reliever use and its initiation of heroin use (5). More research is being done in this area to examine the relationship among these topics.
