LOUISVILLE, Ky. While Kentucky and the rest of the world focuses on COVID-19, something else has been lurking in the shadows and gaining strength the opioid epidemic.
A large cross-sectional study published in JAMA Psychiatry found that emergency department visit rates for opioid use were up 28.8% year over year.
Dr. Chris Stewart from the University of Louisville School of Medicine said that the opioid crisis didn’t disappear when the COVID-19 pandemic started, but rather tightened its grip.
“It didn’t just go away, it seems to be getting worse,” Dr. Stewart said. “We have unfortunately possibly lost ground where we had made progress in reducing opioid overdose deaths in Kentucky and in the United States.”
