Abstract

It would seem that every other day there are news articles talking about the opioid crisis in the U.S., not surprisingly, there hasn’t been any significant improvement with this epidemic. Many companies including hospitals are struggling to deal with this problem from a patient perspective. The rise in opioid abuse is a growing health crisis in the United States, particularly in areas hardest hit by the economic downturn, with an average of 115 Americans dying every day from drug overdoses, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse Lagasse [1].
