Experts Say...

According to Kathryn Cunningham, director of the University of Texas Medical Branch's Center for Addiction Research, Galveston County and the state are in a fentanyl crisis with no signs of improvement. "Texas, which is the second most populous state in the country, has seen a 70 percent increase in overdoses between 2020 and 2022," she said. When speaking of overdoses in Galveston County, Cunningham said, "If you look per capita, the overdose deaths here are more than in Harris County." She said that pharmaceutical companies are one main cause of the rising overdose death rates. She said, "Somewhere around the '80s, companies wanted to make money, so they started courting physicians to mitigate their patients' pain by using opioids." She also added that although opioid prescriptions have declined, the drugs still remain easily accessible. Cunningham said that most fentanyl ingredients are from China and made by Mexican cartels because it's inexpensive and easy to produce. Cunningham said that she knows a lot of people that lost someone to fentanyl. She added, "One of the major problems right now is that there is a lot of stigma and bias when we talk about overdoses and deaths caused by fentanyl."
