Description:PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The drug overdose epidemic in the United States continues to evolve and substantially impact individuals, families, and communities across the nation. The first wave of the opioid overdose epidemic began with deaths involving prescription opioids starting in the 1990s. Since 2013, deaths involving illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs have been increasing each year. More recently, the rise in overdose deaths involving stimulants, primarily methamphetamine and cocaine, often in combination with opioids, highlights the importance of polydrug use and the complexity of developing and implementing prevention and response interventions to reduce overdose deaths and related harms.
