Return to Opioid Top-Level Strategy Map
A key outcome of a comprehensive strategy is that fewer people will develop a dependence on opioids or progress to the point where they've developed an Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This means that even if they had some initial level of misuse, they stopped misusing the drugs before they developed a dependence. For every person that has developed a dependence, there are many more that are misusing opioids but have not yet developed a dependence. That doesn't mean that they are safe. Some people develop dependence faster than others. A comprehensive strategy should focus on multiple ways to help people stop misusing opioids before they develop the dependence or addiction.

The Importance of Exit Ramps on the Road to Addiction
Dependence and the development of an SUD can happen at different paces for different people. Many people who may misuse opioids or other drugs may not have developed a dependence or SUD yet, but that doens't mean that continued use may not lead them to develop a dependence or addiction.
