America's Opioid Epidemic

Every year millions of Americans use opioids to kill pain. Doctor-prescribed opioids are appropriate in some cases, but given its addictive nature, it has led to the worst drug crisis in American history.

The most common signs of overdose from opioid includes but not limited to:

•    Marked confusion, delirium, or acting drunk
•    Frequent vomiting
•    Pinpoint pupils
•    Breathing problems, including slowed or irregular breathing
•    Respiratory arrest (absence of breathing)
•    Extreme sleepiness, or the inability to wake up
•    Intermittent loss of consciousness

People can easily take too much of a prescription painkiller like Vicodin, OxyContin, or morphine, and this can lead to opioid epidemic. If overdose is suspected, it is vitally important to get emergency medical help.
