• Probability of long-term opioids increases based on initial length of use (MMWR.
2017;66:265–269.)
• Rates of long-term use increase among opioid naïve patients seeing high intensity
prescribers (Barnett et al. NEJM. 2017;376:663-73)
• High volume prescribers prescribe higher doses, durations and overall opioid volume
than their counterparts, holding patient factors constant (Chang et al. Addiction. 2017)

Glimmers of hope
• Reductions in prescription opioid volume
• Prescription opioid misuse declining among youth
• Plateauing of deaths from prescription opioids
• Some states seeing leveling of total opioid deaths
• Increased delivery of MAT from treatment facilities
• Increased rates of buprenorphine and naltrexone
dispensing from pharmacies
• Increased naloxone dispensing from pharmacies
• Increased harm reduction programs such as syringe
exchange
