According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 46 people died each day in 2016 from prescription opioid related poisoning. Opioid prescribing volume per capita, which directly correlates with mortality, has declined but remains three times higher than in the late 1990s. The lifesaving drug naloxone is being rapidly deployed as a stopgap measure to prevent deaths. However, multifaceted strategies for preventing and treating opioid use disorders, such as increased access to evidence-based treatment such as medication-assisted treatment, are urgently needed. Here, Delcher et al focus on the national implications on the rapid expansion of the opioid ecosystem among prescribers and pharmacists.
