the only opioid crisis is the one where we put poison in our pain relief drugs because an easily statistically calculable number of people with chronic pain just fucking dying is regarded as morally preferable to an imagined number of people with chronic pain feeling too good

if you poke around you can verify that currently prescribed opioids in the US are, as a matter of federal policy, opioid/acetaminophen combos doing the math with that and acetaminophen toxicity is pretty simple

it's beautifully constructed because acetaminophen is "a painkiller" so you can pretend you're putting it with the opioid to help people but if you weren't trying to make sure it would kill them if they took more than you want you'd use ibuprofen or naproxen
