By the Numbers: Prescription Opioid Addiction


  • Healthcare providers wrote 259 million prescriptions for opioid analgesic medications in 2012, enough for every American adult to have a bottle of pills

  • Enough prescription painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult around-the-clock for a month

  • Hawaii had the lowest prescribing volume in the nation—52 prescriptions per 100 residents

  • Ten of the highest prescribing states for painkillers are in the South

  • Alabama and Tennessee had the highest prescribing volume—143 prescriptions per 100 residents

  • Each day, 46 people in the US die from an overdose involving opioid analgesics

  • Overdose deaths from opioid analgesics continue to rise—from 4,030 in 1999 to 16,651 deaths in 2010
