CDC reported that in 2015, there were more than 50,000 opioid-related deaths, with more than two-thirds (68 percent) of those deaths involved a prescription opioid and nearly one-quarter (24 percent) involved heroin. The opioid epidemic in the US has reached epidemic proportions. People are dying every day from addiction to prescription medications.

The opioid epidemic is a multi-faceted problem, and there are many contributing factors. For one, pain management and opioid prescriptions have increased drastically over the last decade. The most common form of prescription opioid pain medication is Oxycodone, which has side effects such as addiction, overdose, and abuse. The alarming rise of opioid overdose and abuse is the result of the combination of prescription medications and street drugs, which can be even more dangerous, such as Fentanyl. Most of the deaths caused by Fentanyl are accidental. The majority of the deaths caused by Fentanyl occur in people who are legally prescribed this drug to treat pain. According to the CDC, opioid-related deaths are the leading cause of death for Americans ages 15 to 49, and have increased by 78 percent from 1999 to 2015 .
