Yes, opioid addiction is a major problem in the United States today. Over 70,000 people died from opioid overdoses in 2018, and this number is only continuing to grow. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that about 11.4 million people suffering from opioid use disorder needed treatment for their addiction in 2018, but only a fraction of those received it.
