One of Michigan's most economically distresssed counties is also the
center of its opioid crisis
center of its opioid crisis
For the first time, a database maintained by the Drug Enforcement Administration that tracks the path of every single pain pill sold in the United States — by manufacturers and distributors to pharmacies in every town and city — has been made public.
The Washington Post sifted through nearly 380 million transactions from 2006 through 2012 that are detailed in the DEA’s database and analyzed shipments of oxycodone and hydrocodone pills, which account for three-quarters of the total opioid pill shipments to pharmacies. The Post is making this data available at the county and state levels in order to help the public understand the impact of years of prescription pill shipments on their communities.

Ogemaw County, home to the northern Michigan communities of West Branch and Rose City, had the heaviest saturation of pills: 125.7 pills per person a year. Overall, it received just over 19 million pills.
