About Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is not a moral weakness; it is a chronic relapsing disorder6 that may affect the parts of the brain that are necessary for life-sustaining functions.7 In 2019, an estimated 9.5 million people aged 18 or older misused opioids in the past year, including 9.2 million prescription pain reliever misusers and 745,000 heroin users.8
