The addiction problem has gotten out of hand in the US. The counter acting drug for opioids is Narcan. I remember 25 years ago, as a young paramedic, I would give Narcan maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Now, they're giving it 4 or 5 times a day, and in mega doses. The orthopedic doctor group I work with now, although they will still prescribe the opioid pain relievers in some cases, they strongly lean toward the non-addicting pain relievers.
