THE OPIOID CRISIS

Every day, more than 90 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare.

We are proud to support research that is actively seeking to better understand addiction, develop treatments, and alternative treatments. Presented here are a selection of articles we find helpful in understanding the current addiction crisis.
