Ukuba likhoboka leziyobisi kunye nokugqithisa ngaphezulu kunokubonakala ngathi kuyindlela yesepha ye-opera okanye into ephuma kulwaphulo-mthetho. Kodwa eneneni, ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweziyobisi kuya kuxhaphaka ngakumbi.

Kuqhelekile, enyanisweni, ukuba ukugqithisa iziyobisi ngoyena nobangela uphambili wokufa kwabantu baseMelika abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-50, ngokweedatha zokuqala zika-2016 ezihlalutyiweyo zaxelwa INew York Times. Bafumanise ukuba inani labantu baseMelika ababhubhe kukusebenzisa iziyobisi ngo-2016 kuyakuthi lidlule kuma-59,000 (ingxelo esemthethweni ayikakhululwa) -isuka kuma-52,404 ngo-2015, isenza ukuba ibe lolona nyuko lukhulu lwakha lwabhalwa kunyaka omnye. Olu qikelelo ludlula amanqanaba aphezulu okusweleka kweengozi zemoto (ngo-1972), ukufa kwabantu abaphila nentsholongwane kaGawulayo (1995), kunye nokusweleka kwemipu (1993), ngokokuhlalutya kwabo.

Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba ayizizo izibalo zokugqibela zika-2016; Ingxelo yonyaka yeZiko loLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo ayisayi kukhutshwa kude kube nguDisemba. Nangona kunjalo, INew York Times kujongwe uqikelelo luka-2016 olusuka kumakhulu amasebe ezempilo karhulumente, amagosa ezempilo eengingqi, kunye nabavavanyi bezonyango ukuba baqokelele ingqikelelo yabo yonke, kubandakanywa neendawo ezibalelwa kwi-76 yeepesenti yokufa kwe-overdose exeliweyo ngo-2015.

Enye into ebalulekileyo kolu nyuso sisifo seopioid esitshabalalisa iMelika. Ukuqikelelwa kwezigidi ezi-2 zabantu baseMelika okwangoku bangamakhoboka eeopioid, ngokwe American Society of Addiction Medicine. Inxalenye eyoyikisayo kukuba uninzi lwezi ziyobisi aluzange luqale ngomntu osebenzisa iziyobisi ezikrelekrele okanye aziphathe ngendlela engekho mthethweni. Abantu abaninzi baxhomekeke kwi-opioids ngokusemthethweni nangengozi ngokusebenzisa i-painkillers echazwe ngugqirha ngenxa yokulimala okanye intlungu engapheliyo. Emva koko, bahlala bebhenela kwiziyobisi ezingekho mthethweni njengeheroin ukuzalisekisa isidingo esiqhubekayo sokufumana phezulu ngaphandle kokufuna amayeza. Kungenxa yoko le nto iSenethi kutshanje ivule uphando kwiinkampani zamayeza ezihlanu eziphambili zaseMelika ezivelisa iintlungu. Bajonge ukuba ezi nkampani zamachiza zikhuthaze ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kwe-opioid ngokusebenzisa iindlela ezingalunganga zokuthengisa, ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokuba likhoboka, okanye ukuqala izigulana kwiidosi eziphezulu kakhulu. Kwaye ngelishwa, ukugqithisa ayisiyiyo kuphela imicimbi yezempilo eza nalo bhubhane. Iimeko ze-Hepatitis C ziye zaphindaphindeka kathathu kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo ikakhulu ngenxa yokunyuka kokusetyenziswa kwe-heroin kunye nokwabelana ngeenaliti ezosulelekileyo.

Ewe, zininzi iindaba ezimbi apha-kwaye umbono awungcono kwi-2017. okanye amalungu osapho anokuba enengxaki yokuba likhoboka (jonga ezi zinto zixhaphakileyo).
