Lack of healthcare coverage and over-prescription of opioids are both factors as well. People are self-medicating due to not getting the pain medication they need because they lack healthcare. Or they have untreated mental issues. or, if they do have healthcare, they might very well get prescribed super addictive drugs over a long period of time.

>because they lack healthcare. I'm convinced the "crackdown" on pills is what led to where we are today. Many doctors won't prescribe pain medication because they're afraid to lose their license or have a DEA raid. People find what they want in heroin and now fentanyl. Why we keep fighting the drug war this way is beyond me. >if they do have healthcare, they might very well get prescribed super addictive drugs over a long period of time. I think this is also why we are here today.
