substance misuse

This report assembles opioid-related information from the Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health. This allows the general public and the family and friends of people with an elevated risk of opioid overdose, opioid misuse, and/or opioid use disorder to view all of this information in one place. The report goes over the current landscape, reviews the neurobiology of substance use, and discusses the continuum of care and the role of health care systems.
