In this content we will visit and discuss how Opoids are driving Addiction and Overdose.

Generally drug overdose is taking an excessive amount of a substance, whether it’s prescription, over-the-counter, legal, or illegal. Drug overdoses can occur both accidentally or intentionally. If you ’ ve seized the recommended amount of a drug or enough to possess a harmful effect on your body’s functions, you've got overdosed.

An overdose may end up in serious medical complications, including death. The severity of a drug overdose depends on the drug, the quantity taken, and so the physical and story of the individual that overdosed. Preliminary data released last week from the Centers for Disease Control and Protection showed a record number of USA citizens, almost 72,000 died from a drug overdose last year, a majority of which were opioid related. And since the coronavirus pandemic began, experts have feared that the opioid crisis would intensify. Many individuals are experiencing some triggers, like family or job related stress which will lead them to relapse. Many people are losing their jobs and also the funds necessary to buy lifesaving health care. The Washington Post reported that suspected overdoses jumped from 18% to 42% in May.

All these factors threaten any progress that has been made when it involves the opioid problem. Once the tsunami of Covid-19 finally retreats, we'll be left with the social conditions that enabled the opioid crisis to emerge within the primary place, and folks aren't visiting escape.

Governors and state legislators should take immediate action to counteract the implications of the “collision of epidemics”.

Remedial measures should be taken to reduce the adverse effect of COVID Pandemic, the proliferating opioid-related morbidity and mortality rate. In the absence of such efforts, the risk will be more from these colliding epidemics.

For this purpose of the epidemic we announced a special issue entitled as “Novel Coronavirus Outbreak: Epidemiology, Research and Implications for Public Health”. Individual or collaborative approaches from the authors are much appreciated towards the development and success of the journal. Best wishes for your contribution.
