abstract="The opioid epidemic is dominating news headlines and inspiring greater calls for political action in the United States. While opioid addiction isn't a new issue, its devastating consequences are now being felt across the country. &quot;What's got everybody's attention is that so many people are dying,&quot; says Dr. Richard Ries (Figure 1), director of the University of Washington School of Medicine?s addictions divisions and medical director of the Outpatient Addictions Program at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle. &quot;Currently, the top reason for early death in people under 50 is now overdose-more than cancer, AIDS, or accidents. The bulk of those overdoses involve opioids.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
