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.
