Percocet Abuse Statistics
The CDC indicates that 44 people die from opioid overdoses every day, and many of those involve Percocet.
- The fifth edition of the DSM says that 0.37% of adults struggle with Percocet addiction.
- Opioid-related deaths have increased over the last 20 years by 300%.
- Overall, Percocet addiction rates have risen significantly in both men and women but have risen nearly twice as much in women.
Of course, not all surveys can accurately get responses from people who are struggling with addiction. In 2011, Percocet products were responsible for the highest number of emergency room visits. Opioid abuse costs over $70 million in health care costs.
