It's a little bit more complicated than that.
Are opioids overprescribed? Yes. Does it lead to addiction? Absolutely.
Are many people unable to function do to chronic pain without pain meds? Unfortunately, yes.
The only thing that one can really do is to enact prescription drug monitoring (Missouri is the only state w/o it, by the way) and remove the stigma of addiction so that those who need help can receive it.
If someone is on Fentanyl they should also have Naloxone on hand in the case of an overdose.
