Opioid Use Disorder
- Among people aged 12 and older in 2022 in the United States, 8.9 million people misused opioids in the past year.
- According to the CDC’s National Vital Statistics System, for the 12-month period ending in January 2023, there were 107,260 reported drug overdose-related deaths in the US. Of these deaths, 81,269 (or 75.8%) were related to some type of opioid use. The CDC suspects these numbers are underreported.
Co-Occurring Disorders
- Among adults aged 18 or older in the US in 2022, 21.5 million people had both a mental illness and a substance use disorder.
- Among adults aged 18 or older in 2022, those with a mental illness were more likely than those without to have misused opioids in the past year. Just as a person with a mental illness may be at greater risk for a substance use disorder, substance use can sometimes lead to symptoms of a mental health disorder.
- The combined presence of substance use disorders and mental disorders results in more profound functional impairment; worse treatment outcomes; higher morbidity and mortality; increased treatment costs; and higher risk for homelessness, incarceration, and suicide than if people had only one of these disorders.
- According to a 2018 article, “substance use disorders confer a risk of suicide that is 10-14 times greater than that of the general population. Deaths related to substance use are highest among persons with alcohol use disorders followed by persons who abuse opiates.”
