In 2017, the US Department of Health and Human Services declared the opioid epidemic a public health crisis after 42,249 people in the United States died of opioid overdoses in 2016. Opioid prescription has been on the rise since the 1990s, when pharmaceutical companies asserted that the pain relievers were not addictive, though the tragic consequences have proven otherwise. This volume explores the history of the opioid crisis and solutions that have been proposed to fight this increasingly deadly epidemic."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Opioid abuse $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 4 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20200421010620.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20191026010206.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002014012.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20191002012355.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4AECF2CE4DA11E99FA2294397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
