In 2014, prescription drug abuse accounted for nearly       22,000 drug overdose deaths (half of all drug overdoses).

Opioid painkillers such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone have been identified as one of the primary reasons behind the tragic increase in prescription drug overdose deaths, and they are being prescribed in the United States at an unprecedented rate.
