Reduce the proportion of persons with opioid use disorder in the past year
Summary
Opioid overdose deaths have risen sharply in recent years, and reducing opioid use disorder is key to preventing overdose deaths. Less than half the people who need treatment for opioid use disorder get it. Improving opioid prescribing practices and increasing access to and use of medications for addiction treatment can help reduce opioid use disorder.
