About

Across the United States, experts say 91 people are losing their lives every day to an opioid overdose. Deaths resulting from the misuse of prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999, creating a unique public health challenge for the nation.


The President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis has recommended the designation of the opioid epidemic as a national emergency. As the White House takes steps in that direction, what other strategies are being considered at all levels to tackle this crisis? How can barriers to treatment and recovery be addressed and eliminated and what can be done to combat the stigma associated with addiction?


The Hill will gather key voices on the issue including government leaders, policymakers, patient advocates and health experts for a solutions forum on the opioid epidemic.
