The roots of the North American opioid crisis, and 3 key strategies for stopping it

The Netflix series Painkiller recently depicted how the over-prescribing of the medicine OxyContin wreaked havoc on American society.

Key Points: 
  • The Netflix series Painkiller recently depicted how the over-prescribing of the medicine OxyContin wreaked havoc on American society.
  • Today the grim reality is that opioid-related deaths in North America reached a record level in 2022, with more than 109,000 fatalities in the United States.
  • The opioid overdose crisis has been ongoing for over two decades in Canada and the U.S.

The roots of the crisis

    • After introduction of the opioid painkiller OxyContin in 1996, Purdue Pharma marketed the drug aggressively, underplaying its potential for addiction.
    • To address addiction, prescription monitoring programs aimed to limit supply but many patients then sought illicit opioids, leading to large heroin markets in the 2010s.
    • Fentanyl is extremely toxic — up to 100 times stronger than heroin — and is largely responsible for the increase in overdose deaths.

1. Treat substance use disorders as a public health problem

    • In reality the data shows that illegal drug prices have fallen whilst purity and deaths have increased.
    • Overdose deaths have also increased in prisons showing that places with even the highest level of security are vulnerable to drug smuggling.
    • Focusing on the opioid crisis through a public-health approach includes massively increasing access to care and treatment for patients experiencing substance use disorder.

2. Find better treatments through research

    • Although these are effective when used, there are barriers to access and long-term engagement with these treatments.
    • We need more innovation to rapidly increase access to care and to find better therapies that suit the needs of different patients.
    • These research initiatives aim to increase the number of evidence-based treatments that can be used to enhance patient recovery and quality of life.

3. Stop the international spread of the epidemic

    • Currently the epidemic is contained within North America but there is the real concern of the crisis spreading to other countries.
    • Clinicians must remain actively vigilant on how they prescribe these drugs.
    • There should be greater international regulation in the marketing and operational strategies of pharmaceuticals, and oversight of the “revolving door” between industry and regulator employment.
    • There is a potential conflict of interest when pharma companies hire the government employees who oversee their applications.
