　　In America it’s an epidemic. Now new evidence raises concern about the UK’s use of prescription opioids. Michael Mosley goes on an immersive journey to ask what can be done about it.
　　The opioid epidemic has devastated America. But what’s the situation here? A new report from Public Health England raises serious concerns about Britain's own relationship with painkillers. Dr Michael Mosley embarks on an immersive journey to Britain’s opioid frontline and meets patients struggling with addiction and GPs fighting a constant battle to help those suffering from chronic pain. He also uncovers worrying evidence of people abusing over-the-counter opioids and discovers how easy it is to buy strong opioids online.
　　Nearly six million people in England and Wales were prescribed an opioid last year. Michael wants to uncover how and why we’re consuming twice the amount of opioids as twenty years ago, especially when the scientific evidence he encounters disturbingly suggests that for the majority of people taking them for chronic pain, these drugs mostly don’t even work. Though a vital tool in our doctors’ armoury to combat acute pain and in cancer and end-of-life care, the Public Health England report revealed that more than half a million people have been on opioids for more than three years.
　　Michael cautions that people taking these drugs should not suddenly stop taking them. Nevertheless, as he discovers, long term or high dose use does leave them exposed to greater risk of side effects including dependency, addiction and even accidental death by overdose.
　　As many as 28 million Britons endure chronic pain - and if we’re to kick what seems like a dangerous national opioid habit, Michael believes that the critical issue is deprescribing. Millions now require help coming off opioids and drug-free alternatives to them. For Michael this is nothing short of a challenge as important as the fight against cancer and heart disease.
　　So how much do people on the ground really know about these powerful painkillers, some of which, including fentanyl, can be many times stronger than heroin? On his travels, Michael meets Karen in Hastings who now believes her five years on increasingly strong opioids ‘turned her into a zombie’. But he also encounters Brenda in Salford who thinks the morphine she has taken for fifteen years to help with her excruciating back pain is the thing that makes her life just about bearable. And he spends time with Vicki whose 50+-a-day over-the-counter painkiller habit led to overdose and near death before she finally admitted her addiction and started detox.

在美国这是一种流行病。现在，新的证据引发了人们对英国处方类阿片使用的担忧。迈克尔·莫斯利进行了一次身临其境的旅行，询问对此能做些什么。

阿片类药物的流行摧毁了美国。但这里的情况如何？英国公共卫生部的一份新报告对英国自己与止痛药的关系提出了严重的担忧。迈克尔·莫斯利博士踏上了一段身临其境的旅程，前往英国的阿片类药物前线，与那些正在与成瘾作斗争的患者和全球定位系统（GPs）进行一场持续的战斗，以帮助那些患有慢性疼痛的患者。他还发现人们滥用非处方类阿片的令人担忧的证据，并发现在网上购买强效类阿片是多么容易。

去年英格兰和威尔士有近六百万人被开了阿片类药物。迈克尔想找出我们是如何以及为什么要消耗两倍于20年前的阿片类药物，特别是当他所遇到的令人不安的科学证据表明，对于大多数因慢性疼痛而服用阿片类药物的人来说，这些药物大多根本不起作用。尽管在我们的医生军械库中是对抗急性疼痛、癌症和临终关怀的重要工具，英国公共卫生报告显示，超过50万人服用阿片超过三年。

迈克尔警告说，服用这些药物的人不应该突然停止服用。然而，正如他发现的那样，长期或高剂量使用确实会使他们面临更大的副作用风险，包括依赖、上瘾，甚至因过量服用而意外死亡。

多达2800万英国人忍受着慢性疼痛——如果我们要戒掉一种看似危险的全国性阿片类药物习惯，迈克尔认为，关键问题是贬低。现在，数百万人需要从类阿片和无毒品替代品中获得帮助。对迈克尔来说，这是一个与癌症和心脏病斗争同样重要的挑战。

那么，对于这些强力止痛药，包括芬太尼在内的一些止痛药能比海洛因强很多倍，当地人到底知道多少呢？在旅途中，迈克尔在黑斯廷斯遇到了凯伦，凯伦现在相信她服用越来越强的阿片类药物的五年“把她变成了僵尸”。但他也在索尔福德遇到了布伦达，她认为她服用吗啡15年来帮助她缓解剧烈的背痛，是让她的生活几乎可以忍受的事情。他花时间和维姬在一起，维姬每天50+的非处方止痛药习惯导致她吸毒过量，濒临死亡，直到她最终承认吸毒成瘾并开始戒毒。
