    The American opioid crisis is far from over, but early data indicate the number of deaths are beginning to level off, says the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Service.https://n.pr/2PlOwZp

        struggling with the data table on my phone for some reason. Im wondering though, are overdose deaths only lowering due to higher usage of narcan? I’m glad the numbers are lowering, but highly doubt the statistic here is indicative of the actual crisis.

        So many people are dead it's physically impossible for the number to increase.

        Just want to point out that this doesn’t mean things are getting better. It just means they’re getting worse less quickly and may soon stop getting worse.

        Probably because states are clamping down on the legal distribution of OxyContin & other opioids. It’s still coming from China, though.

        Doctors need to be educated on Suboxone and other treatments!

        Suboxone doesn't get you high at all. Maybe Subutex does, but not Suboxone. And when given as part of a state grant at an Methadone Clinic. you have to go every day to get your daily dose.

        I’ve seen it injected. Where there’s an addict there’s a way. Just like when they gelled the oxy’s so one couldn’t shoot. What did addicts do? Shaved them, snorted, and then pull gel out of nose. So being in the street I have seen what u say is impossible

        Actually, I am a recovering addict. 1 year clean as of 10/13. But Suboxone has blockers in it so you can't get high. Maybe you're thinking Subutex. That may be true with Subutex. But Suboxone is worthless. I was one of those snorters at one time :(

        Wow, Rex, calm down...I never called anyone a Liar. I merely said that you CANNOT get high off Suboxone. Maybe Subutex, I don't know, but not Suboxone! Now addicts WILL take Suboxone because it rids of withdrawals completely until you can find a fix. I'm an addict, I know

        Well when u see a generation or two sticking a needle in their arm and the destruction there after. It levels. Then u still have addicts a newbies at a way slower pace. NOTE look at crack.
