The following information pulled from the Center of Disease Control displays the profound impact that opioids have had on our country.

Three Waves of Opioid Overdose Deaths

From 1999–2018, almost 450,000 people died from an overdose involving any opioid, including prescription and illicit opioids.

This rise in opioid overdose deaths can be outlined in three distinct waves.

1. 1. The first wave began with increased prescribing of opioids in the 1990s, with overdose deaths involving prescription opioids (natural and semi-synthetic opioids and methadone) increasing since at least 1999.

2. The second wave began in 2010, with rapid increases in overdose deaths involving heroin.

3. The third wave began in 2013, with significant increases in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, particularly those involving illicitly manufactured fentanyl. The market for illicitly manufactured fentanyl continues to change, and it can be found in combination with heroin, counterfeit pills, and cocaine.

Opioid Lawyers for Individuals and Families

Originally limited for the short-term pain treatment of cancer patients and those with dibilitating diseases, doctors generally did not prescribe a large amount of opioids. However, the market for chronic pain patients was far larger than the acute short-term pain treatment for cancer and dibilitating diseases. Thus, the pharmaceutical industry changed its approach.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers like Purdue Pharma ventured on a mission to change the way that doctors thought about and prescribed opioids. These opioid sellers engaged in desceptive sales and marketing tactics that caused the number of opioid prescriptions to literally skyrocket.

In order to stop the opioid epidemic, pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma need to be hit where it hurts the most: their pocketbook. Moreover, the time has finally come for individuals and families to join the fight.
