Opioid use disorder has become a major problem across the United States over the past two decades. Prescription opioids administered to American pain sufferers, while seen initially as a saving grace for many, have become an issue that federal, state, and local governments have all had to address. Although very useful for pain management, prescription synthetic opioids come with a number of possible dangers. Additionally, illicit opioids like heroin still remain on the drug scene and are sometimes combined with opioids used for the treatment of chronic pain.
