Description
The Opioid Epidemic: A Complex Crisis The opioid epidemic in America is one of the worst man-made drug epidemics in the nation's history, claiming more lives each year than automobile accidents. This crisis was fueled by Big Pharma's marketing campaigns, the medical community's lack of awareness, and policymakers' inadequate oversight. This book sheds light on the stories of those affected by prescription opioid addiction and overdose death, highlighting the struggles of individuals and communities ravaged by the spread of addiction. Despite efforts from regional health experts, local government, law enforcement, journalists, and the DEA to combat the epidemic, people continue to die at an alarming rate from prescription drug overdoses. Through the stories of those who suffer from opioid addiction, as well as public health crusaders and journalists, this book chronicles the complexity of the opioid epidemic, revealing the need for a comprehensive approach to address this devastating crisis.
