Opioid epidemic

We’re doing an ongoing series about the opioid epidemic, which is arguably America’s biggest public health crisis since AIDS. Opioids (including legal painkillers, heroin and fentanyl) killed a record 42,000 people in 2016, and death rates are rising, according to the CDC.

We want to hear about your experience. Tell us your story and a reporter may follow up with you.
