This dramatic number of deaths is in great part due to the unprecedented increase of synthetic Opioid overdoses, and in particular Fentanyl, which is up to 50 times more potent than Heroin. While the government is trying to address the importation of these illegal and fatal drugs, the immediate issue that needs to be addressed is treatment and support for the addicts.
