Opioids are part of a drug class that includes the illegal drug heroin and powerful pain relievers such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and many others. In 2015, more than 33,000 people died from overdoses involving opioids. Every day in the United States more than 1,000 people are treated in emergency departments for not using prescription opioids as directed.

Explore the science of why opioids are addictive and what can be done to reverse the growing rates of addiction and overdose. If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid use in the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services operates a helpline (800-662-4357) and has a database of treatment facilities: https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/

--

In the 1980s and 90s, pharmaceutical companies began to market opioid painkillers aggressively, while actively downplaying their addictive potential. The number of prescriptions skyrocketed, and so did cases of addiction, beginning a crisis that continues today. What makes opioids so addictive? Mike Davis explains what we can do to reverse the skyrocketing rates of addiction and overdose.

Fentanyl is the deadliest illegal drug in US history by far. It’s often described as the ultimate high, but it’s actually an inferior, short-lived, and brutally addictive version of heroin. In this video, we explore what opioids do to your brain and body, what it feels like to take them, and why so many people are dying from Fentanyl overdoses without ever choosing to take it.

Fentanyl is an FDA-approved, powerful synthetic opioid drug that is medically prescribed for pain relief. Fentanyl is also made and used illegally and has become one of the most common causes of overdose deaths. People who seek out drugs on the street are often unaware that they could be consuming fentanyl, which can be up to 100 times more potent than morphine. In this documentary report by special correspondent Simon Ostrovsky, addiction to opioids and the potential for overdose is examined on the streets, in overdose prevention centers and in law enforcement offices of New York and New Jersey.

Hear from people addicted to opioids as well as from advocacy groups, health officials and authorities about what they are doing in response to the deadly fentanyl crisis.

Analgesic drugs are a medication class that relieves pain while minimizing loss of cognitive function.

In today’s video, we’re covering the basics of analgesic drugs and their nursing considerations. We'll also discuss NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) pumps, and fentanyl – which is in a class of its own.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Philadelphia – 24 May 2023
1. Tracking shot of Kensington Avenue
HEADLINE: Animal sedative adds new pain to opioid crisis
2. Tracking shot of tents on street
3. A man on street
ANNOTATION: A powerful animal sedative in the illicit drug supply is complicating the U.S. response to the opioid crisis.
4. Pedestrians on Kensington
ANNOTATION: Xylazine, called "tranq," is often mixed with fentanyl. It can cause gruesome severe skin wounds.
5. A man receiving a wound care at Savage Sisters’ storefront
6. A nurse cleaning a wound
7. Cut away of bandages being cut
8. A woman receiving wound care
9. A nurse placing bandage over a wound on hand
++SOUNDBITE COVERED++
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters:
“So, xylazine is an animal grade tranquilizer that is commonly used to adulterate the heroin and fentanyl supply. So, unfortunately, we are seeing the long-term use of xylazine is causing large open ulcers on our friends, and that's leading to the wound becoming necrotic, which means dead tissue and eventually amputation. And it was originally put in there to give the suply legs, to make that euphoric feeling last longer. It causes high sedation.”
11. Mid of Laurel
12. Wide of Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters, at the group’s storefront in Kensington
ANNOTATION: Savage Sisters provides outreach and care to people with addiction. The group says xylazine is making the drug crisis worse.
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters:
“So, nobody asked for xylazine in the drug supply and before anybody knew it, everyone, like the community is now chemically dependent on it. So, yes, people do seek it out because they are dependent on it. And it has become the main supply.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Philadelphia – 23 May 2023
14. Ellwood Warren walking into a wound care van
ANNOTATION: Local health workers drive around in vans to treat skin wounds caused by tranq.
15. Warren showing his wounds to the nurse
ANNOTATION: The wounds make it hard to get people into rehabilitation programs, which aren't equipped to treat lesions.
16. Warren’s arm
17. SOUNDBITE (English), Kathy Lalli, nurse , Kensington Hosptial:
“All these are wounds from tranq, O.K? So you know what is the tranq, right? (Ellwood said, “xylazine?”) Even though you inject there, it comes wherever it wants to come out.”
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Ellwood Warren, patient:
“I can see what it’s doing to me. I mean, it's deteriorated my health and my body tremendously almost overnight, you know.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York – 30 May 2023
19. Dr. Jennifer Love, Emergency Medicine Physician at The Mount Sinai Hospital
20. Cut away of hospital equipment
ANNOTATION: It's not yet clear if xylazine is leading to more deaths. Some research suggests it may inadvertently be diluting the effects of fentanyl.
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Jennifer Love, Mount Sinai Hospital:
“Xylazine exposure in an overdose might not be as dangerous as we expect, we still have to understand the short and long-term effects of Xylazine on our patients. There may be long-term health effects that we don’t yet know about that could be very severe and very harmful for patients. And once we understand them better, we will be able to better care for our patients when we see them.”

Crystal Long does not look back on her mid-20s with great fondness. She says those years were filled with lots of drugs. Perhaps nothing was more potent than fentanyl. The drug is similar to morphine but significantly stronger, according to law enforcement.

"All of your problems go away," Long said. "It's like a tingling feeling from head to toe. You're calm. Nothing else matters. There's nothing else around you."

Long said she depended on fentanyl. She used so often, she overdosed more than a half dozen times. Long said she should have died.

A powerful animal sedative in the illicit drug supply is complicating the U.S. response to the opioid crisis, scrambling longstanding methods for reversing overdoses and treating addiction.

Xylazine can cause severe skin wounds, but whether it is leading to more deaths — as suggested by officials in Washington — is not yet clear, according to health and law enforcement professionals on the front lines of efforts in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. In fact, early data suggests the drug may inadvertently be diluting the effects of fentanyl, the synthetic opioid behind most overdose deaths. (AP Video: Tassanee Vejpongsa)

Today, Fentanyl is involved in more deaths in Americans under the age of 50 than any other cause of death, according to the country’s Drug Enforcement Agency.

And now child opioid deaths are also on the rise.

This is an informational overview video about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a painkiller from the group opioids, like Morphine and Oxycodone. Common brand names are Abstral, Actiq, Duragesic, Fentora, Effentora, Instanyl, Recivit, and Pecfent.

In this video I will explain when to use Fentanyl, how to use Fentanyl, what dosage to use of Fentanyl, what are the side effects of Fentanyl, and is Fentanyl safe to use when pregnant or while breastfeeding.
In addition I will also explain if Fentanyl is safe to use while driving, and if Fentanyl is safe to use with alcohol.

This video is meant for medical professional or medical students. For patients or layman, I made a more to the point video, that covers all the essentials in easy to understand language. You can find it here:

Dr. Daniel Colby from the UC Davis Department of Emergency Medicine breaks down common fentanyl myths, including whether fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin or accidentally inhaled by emergency responders. He also describes the signs of a fentanyl overdose and explains what to do in an emergency situation, including the use of Narcan naloxone. Dr. Colby says you can't overdose on fentanyl through casual contact with door knobs or food wrappers.

Over 2 million Americans have opioid use disorder, according to some estimates. Illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl were responsible for over 80,000 U.S. overdose deaths in 2023.

Despite the known risks, these drugs are notoriously hard to stop using — due in large part to how debilitating withdrawal can be.

“People get trapped in this terrible cycle where they don’t feel normal, they can’t function, they feel horribly ill unless they’re finding and using opioids,” explained Sarah Wakeman, medical director for substance use disorder at Mass General Brigham. “People will forgo other basic, primal needs like connection and sex and food just to relieve their withdrawal symptoms. That’s how powerful it is.”

Medications such as methadone and buprenorphine are very effective at treating opioid dependence, but despite sky-high overdose death rate, these treatments are unnecessarily hard to access in the United States, according to experts.

In this video, Wakeman explains how opioids work in the brain and why they cause such nightmarish withdrawal symptoms. She also explains how treating opioid use disorder with approved medications can help people lead normal, productive lives.

The use of fentanyl is going up and the medical community is trying to understand just what it does to the human body.

Things you may have witnessed are people so high, they just stand in the middle of the sidewalk bent over, appearing as if they were frozen in place.
