The epidemic of drug overdose deaths is worsening at a startling rate among middle-aged women; federal health experts reported this week.

Drug overdose deaths have soared among women over 30 starting in 1999 — with the biggest increase among women aged 45 to 64, the team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. Deaths from drug overdoses increased by 260 percent among women aged 30 to 64 between 1999 and 2017.

And the rate of drug overdose deaths from opioids increased by an enormous 492 percent among women aged 30 to 64.

Statistics show that most of those who die from overdoses first used opioids with a legitimate prescription from a doctor.

It is important to know that chronic pain, or pain which lasts longer than three months, should not be treated with prescription opioids. Because treatment time will likely increase, so do the risks of addiction.
