ABSTRACT
Between 1999 and 2020, more than 564 000 people in the United States died from opioid overdose. Domestically, the opioid epidemic tends to be approached not as a public health problem but as a law enforcement or judicial problem. Some US localities, however, are trying interventions modeled after international approaches that decriminalize opioid dependence. This article describes Portuguese approaches to persons with opioid use disorder.
