Opioids Have Become So Dangerous They’re Shortening American Life Expectancy

Curated by Paul Helmick

I’m a Technology CEO and Experienced Entrepreneur. I love helping people use technology to grow their business.

Last week, President Trump declared the opioid crisis a national public health emergency
The life expectancy of American citizens is actually decreasing for the first time in decades as a result of the opioid crisis
The last time an issue this serious caused a decrease in life expectancy to occur in America was at the height of the AIDS crisis in 1993
The opioid Fentanyl has become one of the leading causes of substance abuse deaths, and in 2016, it caused over 20,000 overdose deaths alone
In 2017, overdose rates are expected to double and show no indication of slowing down.
