What percentage of americans are addicted to opioids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioid addiction: 2.1mil abuse/addicted to prescription opioids. THis excludes those that obtained the opioid without a prescription and those who use Heroin. This is certainly not an epidemic as the politicians, FDA etc.. would have you believe.
