Opiate addiction is not nearly as big a problem as overdoses though.
It isn't the end of the world if someone becomes addicted to opiates. There are pathways to recovery and one can live a relatively normal life while addicted. What makes it exceptionally harmful is the amount of fentanyl in street drugs, the legal ramifications of use, and the lack of realistic treatment.
