THEY KNEW BACK IN 2009, that 78% of OxyContin abusers never received a Doctor's prescription for them and had purchased them illegally on the black market, as counterfeits.

FACT: The harder it becomes to get RX Opioids, the more people flock to illegal heroin and fentanyl.

FACT: To build a demand for a product, restrict it's supply

FACT: It’s now indisputable that most recent opioid deaths result from illegal heroin/fentanyl, not physician prescribed pain pills.

Overdosing on Regulation: How Government Caused the Opioid Epidemic~2019

in 2017 American physicians wrote nearly 200 million prescriptions for opioid pain relievers. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates that in 2017, nearly 87 million noninstitutionalized adults in the United States had used prescription pain relievers in the past year. The number of unintentional non-heroin or synthetic opioid overdoses was about 9,000, or 0.01 percent of the population taking prescription opioids. For comparison, a study analyzing the nonopioid antipsychotic drug Clozapine found a sudden death rate of 0.71 percent for those treated with the drug in the sample. The overall mortality rate for prescription opioids is comparable to the fatality risk of one year of daily aspirin use.

The overall mortality rate for prescription opioids is comparable to the fatality risk of one year of daily aspirin use.

In 2015, the DEA reported that the declining availability of prescription opioids compared to heroin and the reformulation of OxyContin had contributed to the accelerating rate of prescription opioid abusers switching to illegal heroin since 2010.

“Opioid Prescription Control: When the Corrective Goes Too Far,” Health Affairs (blog), January 19, 2018.

Restrictions push users from prescription opioids toward diverted or illicit opioids, which increases the risk of overdose . Resulting in "more restrictions, more deaths”.

FACT:

-The overall mortality rate for prescription opioids is comparable to the fatality risk of one year of daily aspirin use! (From SAMHSA own 2017 estimates )

-In 2017, illegal heroin & Fentanyl accounted for more than three-fourths of all opioid overdose deaths.

The nonopioid antipsychotic drug Clozapine was found to have a sudden death rate of 0.71 percent for those treated with the drug in the sample …more dangerous than RX opioids!

Fabricated Tech Bubble Created for profit, Fabricated Housing Bubble created for profit & NOW a Fabricated RX Opioid crisis Created and Perpetuated for Profit.

Just imagine the "Kick Backs" in the form of Campaign Contributions, PACS and the $$$ Amount to the politicians, & why they won't or have any desire to fix it.

Politicians practicing medicine without a license for profit.

-Despite frequent robberies and burglaries of pharmacies, doctors' offices, and warehouses where prescription medications are stored and sold, the DEA has focused a troubling amount of time and resources on the prescriptions issued by practicing physicians. It's easy to see why. Doctors keep records. They pay taxes. They take notes. They're an easier target than common drug dealers. Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of asset forfeiture laws.

-A physician's considerable assets can be divided up among the various law enforcement agencies investigating him before he's ever brought to trial.

-Over the last several years, hundreds of physicians have been put on trial for charges ranging from health insurance fraud to drug distribution, even to manslaughter and murder for over-prescribing prescription narcotics. Many times, investigators seize a doctor's house, office, and bank account, leaving him no resources with which to defend himself.

-Even if criminal charges are never filed a police dept can still bring a civil action against a suspected medical professional to recover the cost of an investigation.

But The DEA & SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Give “Carte Blanche” & “Waivers to prescribe higher doses/limits of controlled substances” to Providers that prescribe “Addiction Therapy Drugs” that are more addictive, controlled substances, tagged the “lifetime therapy drug”, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more side effects and more expensive!

-Addiction Drug Therapy buprenorphine $115.00 per week or $5,980.00 per year. Suboxone sells for $560 at CVS and $553 at Target for a 30-day supply, according to GoodRx.

-Addiction Drug Therapy naltrexone ( Vivitrol ) – up to $1200 to $1,176.50 per injection $1,176.50 per month or $14,112.00 per year.

-Addiction Drug Therapy Methadone $126.00 per week or $6,552.00 per year.

GO FIGURE!

Politicians Practicing Medicine Without A License For Profit!

Where is the war on "-Unintentional fall deaths: 34,673"

Where is the war on STDs " STD related bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of those infections”-CDC 2013

Where is the War on Alcoholic liver disease? Alcoholic liver disease deaths: 21,815

Why the Continued War on Chronic Pain Patients and Their Doctors when Physician Prescribed Opioids deaths: 17,029 (could even be lower )Per CDC…

Because it is an estimated Multi-Billion Profit Scam…funded mostly by the tax payers.

Would it surprise you to know that the market for the addiction recovery industry is well in excess of $35 billion a year?

That is a 44% increase since 2009. By 2020, spending in estimated to reach $42 billion, representing a jump of another 20%. (my opinion, total profits from the fabricated profit created opioid scam is over $100 Billion…)

How much money can be made on a single patient?

-Professional intervention – $2500, plus expenses

-Residential drug detox – at least $500 per day, lasting anywhere from 3 to 14 days

-Inpatient drug rehab – between $6000 and $32,000, depending upon location and amenities. In fact high-end, “luxury” rehabs can cost over $100,000 for a 30-day stay.

-Intensive outpatient programs – up to $10,000 per month

-Partial hospitalization programs – between $350 and $450 per day

-Sober living facilities – up to $2500 per month

-Once-monthly administrations of Vivitrol – up to $1200 per injection

-Sober coaches – up to $1900 per day, plus expenses and travel, usually with a five-day minimum

In addition to “addiction therapy Drugs”, is the multi-Billion Frequent Drug Testing Industry with an absurd failure rate. Etc

End the War on Chronic Pain Patients and their Physicians…This was never the cause of the fake RX prescribed opioid crisis for profit.

We all know that it was illegal heroin & fentanyl brought in from Mexico and China by the previous administration.

To delay the end to this witch hunt defies logic and humane decency….unless there were never plans to end it.

Joshua T. Cohen and Peter J. Neumann, “What’s More Dangerous, Your Aspirin or Your Car? Thinking Rationally about Drug Risks (and Benefits),” Health Affairs 26, no. 3 (2007): 636-46. The authors find that daily aspirin use has a fatality risk of 10.4 per 100,000 person years, which translates to a 0.000104 fatality risk per year.

Our goal in this paper is to add to the policy debate about drug risks by comparing the mortality risks of common drugs with other risks people confront related to work, transportation, and recreation. Comparing risks in this way can provide a more intuitive sense of the magnitude of drug risks than stand-alone estimates can not.

To the Editor: Recently, we examined our current files to determine the incidence of narcotic addiction in 39,946 hospitalized medical patients' who were monitored consecutively.

Although there were 11,882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation, there were only four cases of reasonably well documented addiction in patients who had a history of addiction. The addiction was considered major in only one instance. The drugs implicated were meperidine in two patients, Percodan in one, and hydromorphone in one.

"We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction."

JANE PORTER & HERSHEL JICK, M.D. Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program Boston University Medical Center

1986 paper on the "chronic use of opioid analgesics in non-malignant pain" by Dr. Russell Portenoy and Kathy Foley in Pain, the official journal of the American Pain Society.

"We conclude that opioid maintenance therapy can be a safe, salutary and more humane alternative to the options of surgery or no treatment in those patients with intractable non-malignant pain and no history of drug abuse," Portenoy and Foley wrote.

Long-Term Use and Addiction

The claim that long-term medical use generates addiction is the opposite of the consensus that began to emerge in the 1980s, which held that long-term medical use rarely generates addiction. Proponents of the standard explanation argue that, in coming to this more benign view of opioids, physicians and pharmaceutical companies relied excessively on a 1980 letter to the editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, which stated:

Although there were 11,882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation, there were only four cases of reasonably well documented addiction in patients who had no history of addiction. . . . We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction.

Advocates of the standard view argue that this letter provided insufficient grounds for the conclusion that long-term opioid use poses little risk of addiction, noting the letter’s brevity and limited peer review.

Studies since the 1980s, however, have consistently found only a modest risk of addiction or dependence from the medical use of opioids, in the range of 0 to 5 percent.

== A 2018 study of more than 568,000 patients receiving opioids between 2008 and 2016 found a “misuse” rate of 0.6 percent.

Reports of opioid abuse did not increase in the 1990s despite increased medical use. A substantial fraction of patients who exhibit addiction after medical use have a preexisting psychological disease or history of addiction According to the medical handbook Clinical Drug Data,

“addiction does not occur when these drugs are used for legitimate painful conditions.” ==

Call it what it really is! STOP the Lies! It is and always was an illegal heroin and illegal fentanyl flooding of the USA…not a Doctor prescribed opioid epidemic. Follow the money and who is profiting by restricting Doctors from prescribing pain meds to their patients with chronic pain!
