Every day, nearly 130 people in the US die from opioid overdoses. That's according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. And this year, New York reportedly has the highest number of overdose deaths, since the state began tracking them in 2000. Our Alexi Noelle visited a drug treatment and recovery center to speak with recovering addicts about the nation's health crisis.

Only five to ten percent of rehab is successful. It is a multi Billion dollar industry that doesn't work. It is not chronic pain patients dying unless it is from suicide or street drugs because they had their medicine cut. Study after study shows only one to four percent of chronic pain patients abuse or sell their medicine because we need it everyday. I have been on opioid pain medication for ten years and I never have wanted to take more than am supposed to and the same with people I know. But you take it away from us and after misery day after day I probably would go to the streets because your the dead anyway and I won't care if it kills me or kill myself to escape the not stop pain. I can barely get around with it. The government is lying. The CDC has admitted that they lied and stacked the numbers. The government has no business in the Medical field. Since they have gone on the war path on chronic pain patients. I overdoses have skyrocketed and suicide have skyrocketed. Anytime the government gets involved they always make things worse. They have created a market for Carfentanil and bootleg pills that look like the real thing but are Carfentanil. Why aren't the DEA hitting the streets like they are raiding doctors that are just taking care of their patients. They are thugs and a protected organized crime syndicate.

Opiates are a problem in America so with them cut, they can start lobbying for Ketamine as an antidepressant...

But they claim they can be used effectively in a controlled setting.
Sounds just like the promotion of opiates before these headlines...

The Crystal Meth Epidemic Plaguing

VICE
2 days ago

Fresno is experiencing a meth epidemic.

Located in California’s Central Valley, the city is a hub for many major highways and is surrounded by vast farmlands. And while now, most meth is smuggled from Mexico, the valley was once an ideal location for meth manufacturing labs in the 1990's.

Today, methamphetamine is the number one threat for the Central Valley Drug Task Force, and, because latinos make up half of Fresno's population, they are also being affecting by this epidemic.

VICE's Paola Ramos traveled to Fresno to explore the history, factors and the ongoing relationship between the Latino community and methamphetamine use.

Drug overdose is now the main cause of death for Americans under the age of 50, they are more likely to die from a drug overdose than a car accident or gun.

More than 70,000 people died from overdoses last year as opioids and illegal fentanyl – which is up to 50 times stronger than heroin – unleashed the worst public health crisis in American history.

Two years ago, BBC News reported on the growing problem of opioid addiction in the US, now we return to find out what happened to the people we met along our journey down the notorious I-95, the interstate that runs from Florida to Maine, and to see what has become of their struggle against addiction.

Michaela’s family keeps her memory alive after she was murdered. The opioid crisis is the worst addiction epidemic in American history. Drug overdoses kill more than 64,000 people per year, and the nation’s life expectancy has fallen for two years in a row. But there is a key part of the story that statistics can’t tell. Over the last year, photographer James Nachtwey set out to document the opioid crisis in America through the people on its front lines.
