Drug overdoses: Epidemic inside the epidemic is Alabama’s ‘other’ medical crisis Updated Apr 01, 2021; By John Meigs, Jr., MD | Medical Association of Alabama For the past 12 months the nation’s medical community correctly and understandably focused nearly all its attention on the COVID-19 pandemic.

That crisis is the drug overdose crisis, the epidemic inside the pandemic.

Unfortunately, many of the socially isolating steps that were necessary to combat COVID-19 are the same conditions where substance abuse flourishes.
