The Risks of Fentanyl and Other Opioids
From the Series Drug Risks
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 47,600 overdose deaths related to opioids in 2017Сmore than a 90 percent jump since 2013. This increase was largely due to the soaring use of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is about fifty times more potent than heroin. The Risks of Fentanyl and Other Opioids presents a realistic picture of the effects of drug use and abuse, addiction, and the challenges of treatment and recovery.
