Opioid misuse is now a worldwide epidemic and major public health issue with widespread implications. This fascinating book provides a collection of compelling arguments on how the course of the opioid epidemic can be changed. It offers an overview of the historical origins of opioid addiction, a summary of the current state of the worldwide epidemic and an examination of the likelihood of success for current and proposed solutions. Specific chapters focus on why some people are affected by addiction, the effect of policy and regulations, changing trends in opioid use, detoxification, the financial cost of addiction treatment, and proactive measures to prevent addiction. Drawing upon both past and current academic research as well as personal accounts, ideas and concepts are presented in a clear and accessible narrative.
