Opioid use disorders sharply increased during the early 21st century, contributing to the growing public health crisis referred to as the U.S. Opioid Epidemic. Originally designed for medical use, fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, largely contributes to the number of opioid-related deaths in the U.S. and is now a major part of the illicit drug market. Because fentanyl was originally produced for analgesic and anesthetic purposes, it has a very high potency, which poses a higher risk for overdose. Individuals who develop fentanyl dependencies and addictions can seek treatment through behavioral therapies and counseling or addition medications designed for opioid dependencies.
