Infographic: State-by-state breakdown of opioid regulations

Responsible for 91 deaths each day, the opioid epidemic continues to devastate the nation. The death rate from these drugs has nearly quadrupled since 1999 and continues to rise. Nearly half of these opioid-related deaths—42 each day— were caused by a prescription opioid. Prescription opioids (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone) are used to treat moderate to severe pain and can provide effective pain management when prescribed and taken as directed. However, prescription opioids can also be misused and lead to addiction, death, job loss and a host of other problems, taking a significant human and financial toll on individuals, families, communities, and states.
