Abstract: "The opioid crisis has affected millions of lives across the United States. North Carolina has also been subject to the destruction that the opioid crisis has reigned on its citizens. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a mental health crisis exacerbated the effects of the opioid crisis resulting in the rising numbers of fatal and nonfatal overdoses. Through the use of numerous acts and implementing programs, North Carolina has attempted to reduce the effect of the opioid crisis and maintain the health of its citizens. This essay will address the data supported by the CDC while acknowledging common causes of the opioid crisis, treatments, programs established to combat the crisis, and what is being done to contain the crisis."
