Science of Opioid Dependence
Addiction affects everyone. The opioid epidemic has been particularly hard-hitting: in 2018, two of every three drug overdoses in the U.S. were due to opioids, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Understanding the genetic links to drug dependency can reduce the likelihood of opioids being prescribed to high-risk patients.
