The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. The opioid epidemic has become so pervasive, it has spurred a new war in America: The War On Opioids. 

States across the country have explored responses to the opioid epidemic, including opioid regulations and state opioid programs. While all states seem to agree something must be done, state approaches are unique and varied.

  • Opioid prescription fill limits by state
