AB Opioid  use  disorder  (OUD)  consists  of  intoxication  and  withdrawal  from  the  substance  for  which  there  is  no  cure.  Since  1999,  the  number  of  overdose  deaths  contributed  to  OUD  has  more  than  tripled.  These  deaths  have  involved  opioid  substances  including  prescription  opioids  (ie,  natural  opioids,  semisynthetic  opioids,  and  methadone),  as  well  as  heroin  and  synthetic  opioids  (ie,  illicitly  manufactured  fentanyl).
