The United States is in the midst of an unprecedented epidemic of prescription drug overdose deaths. More than 38,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2010, and most of these deaths (22,134) were caused by overdoses involving prescription drugs. Three-quarters of prescription drug overdose deaths in 2010 (16,651) involved a prescription opioid pain reliever (OPR), which is a drug derived from the opium poppy or synthetic versions of it such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, or methadone. The prescription drug overdose epidemic has not affected all states equally, and overdose death rates vary widely across states.
