I really enjoy that you are taking the "this is the best medicine" type of sentences out of this article. This is an incredibly prevalent issue, specifically in the US, and many people will go to Wiki and take medical advice from it, or at least become confused, or ask the doctor for a specific medicine and have a fear of any other. You are doing important work and doing it well adding sources and getting this up to date and looking more into the medicines to combat it! I think this will really help you on your journey: It is so strange that there is no section on cannabis and it's help in the opioid epidemic. Here is a literature review to help you get started if you want to add it there, or simply add to the talk page of the article. This mentions all the drugs mentioned in the Wiki already as well. https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.ezproxy3.lhl.uab.edu/pmc/articles/PMC6135562/

Also, I think the section about "U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a public health emergency" You could talk about how there's a movement towards Physical therapy immediately to manage pain instead of using only pain medication. There is also an initiative to throw out extra medicine and have doctors perscribe smaller quantities at a time when they do because of so many children getting addicted: https://www.nsc.org/Portals/0/Documents/RxDrugOverdoseDocuments/Rx%20community%20action%20kit%202015/CAK-What-Parents-Need-to-Know.pdf

Nice article choice! You are just missing citations.Jhud9526 (talk) 04:54, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

I agree with the points you brought up in your sandbox. It is good that you are making sure the article is devoid of any bias material. Also, making sure that the information is up-to-date is critical. I am looking forward to reading it post-changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mojoad33 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I think you did a great job editing your article. The science behind opioid use can be really complex and I think you were able to use clear and concise language to break down some of the confusing concepts like medication. Adding a section about opioid-related death was a great idea and I think you could add even more. You might consider writing about downregulation of neurotransmitters in the brain in response to opioid use and how that can be dangerous and lead to overdose. Here's a great article explaining it in further detail (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2948245/). Shelbyw8 (talk) 16:10, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Shelbyw8, 21 February 2019

Thank you all for your reviews and advice. Specifically mdnack, I completely agree that there should be a section on cannabis as it does help in getting people off of opioids. I have begun to look at the source you gave and it is very helpful. I will be looking for more resources to go along with the one you gave to start this section. I really appreciate you all taking time to review my work. Thanks again!. --Jarogers0998 (talk) 19:34, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Shelbyw8, Thank you for your review. I really appreciate you giving me a reference to start at regarding the downregulation of neurotransmitters in the brain. Some of that information gets confusing and the more I can read on it the better I will be able to understand it. This section has needed to be expanded on and this helps me do that! I will definitely be using this to update this section. I have found another resource that goes along with this that I intend on adding to the talk page to see what others say about this addition. --Jarogers0998 (talk) 14:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Mdnack, I really appreciate you giving me the reference regarding the physical therapy for pain management instead of pain medicine. I believe this is a much needed section in this article. People do use it for medical advice and they need to have all accurate information. Also, thank you for the additional reference on limiting the amounts physicians prescribe. I will use this resources and expand on it by finding other sources that go along with this one to make this section better. Thanks!--Jarogers0998 (talk) 14:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Mojoad33, Thank you for your review. It is important to make sure the article is up to date and void of bias. I am going through this article checking all facts and links to make sure they work and are factual. Thank you for reviewing my work!--Jarogers0998 (talk) 14:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Alexyoung339, Thank you for reviewing my article. I agree that this article does need more information on the outward signs of this disorder and the fact that some of the symptoms are vague and needs to me more concise. I didn't even think of the fact that it is not listed who makes the diagnosis and the clinical circumstances to which it's made. Thank you for giving me new ideas for this article. It's important for people to have all of the information they can on this disorder since it affects so many around the world. I will change some of the language to make it more concise and clear and also will begin expanding on who is able to diagnosis individuals and the circumstances where the diagnosis is made. Thanks again! --Jarogers0998 (talk) 14:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

JHud9526, Thank you for your review. It is missing some secondary citations that I am currently trying to find for these sections. I appreciate your review. --Jarogers0998 (talk) 14:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Jamie,

Thank you for contributing to an article that is extremely pertinent to public health in this country today. It is important that facts and statistics on this issue stay up-to-date and accurate, and your contribution of naloxone stats does just that. As far as general improvements, I think that this article could use more information on the outward signs of this disorder, as well as on the diagnostic process. For instance, several of the signs and symptoms are vague and limited (i.e. "legal or social ramifications secondary to drug use"), and the Diagnosis section does not specify who can make a diagnosis or under what clinical circumstances can a diagnosis be made. Just a few thoughts.

Keep up the good work!
