The CDC is updating its 2016 current guidelines for prescribing opioids for chronic pain, citing new research on alternative treatments to treat pain
Journalist Beth Macy’s 2018 book "Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America" showed how the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma’s devious marketing of OxyContin directly contributed to patients getting addicted to the prescription pain meds, leading to the epidemic crisis in the U.S., according to Healthline.
The report noted the streaming platform Hulu adapted the book into a partially fictionalized limited series titled "Dopesick" which concentrated on the epidemic crisis through the perspective of the doctors and addicts as well as the pharmaceutical company who downplayed the addiction potential while aggressively up-marketing them.
