U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions says the government is committed to reducing the amount of prescription 1 opioids that are in the U.S., reducing the number of addictions 2 and reducing the number of overdose deaths that drugs can cause. The Trump 3 administration says in 2016, an estimated 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, the highest number ever recorded, and that preliminary information suggests that 2017 was even worse. It says overdoses of opioids, which include prescription painkillers 4, heroin 5 and synthetic 6 drugs, made up the vast majority of drug deaths.
