KEY INSIGHTS INTO THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC

There have been about 250,000 opioid-related deaths since 1999²
~83% of opioid-related deaths are unintended/accidental –mostly occurring outside of a medical setting³
A significant rate of mainstream America is at risk: Over 60 million Americans received at least one opioid prescription in 2016
Nearly 12 million Americans report misusing prescription opioids⁴

80% of heroin users reported misuse of prescription opioids prior to heroin⁵
45% of heroin users report a history of dependency with prescription opioids⁶
As of 2016, there are ~1 million Americans using heroin, which may often inconspicuously be laced with fentanyl (100 times more potent than morphine)⁷

The threat of an ongoing opioid epidemic continues with many lives at risk from overdose. Community-based naloxone is a part of the overall fight against the consistent increase in death rates. Your efforts matter.
