A survey in 2023 found that around three in ten U.S. adults reported they or someone in their family had been addicted to opioids, including prescription painkillers or illegal opioids (such as heroin or fentanyl) at some point in their lifetime. This varied by the type of community, with adults living in rural areas more likely to report personal opioid addiction or opioid addiction in the family.
