This indicator shows the age-adjusted annual rate of opioid prescriptions, excluding buprenorphine, per 1,000 residents by patient location, showing relative number of all opioid prescriptions (any quantity) filled at a pharmacy.
Why is this important?
Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that bind to receptors in your brain or body. Common opioids include heroin and prescription drugs such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl. Opioid abuse is a serious public health issue, but preventive actions, limiting the number of opioid prescriptions, and treatment for addiction to prevent future use can help.
The majority of drug overdoses involve an opioid, and at least half of all opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid. Since 1999, the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioid pain relievers) has nearly quadrupled. According to the CDC, overdoses from prescription opioid pain relievers are a driving factor in the increase in opioid overdose deaths.
