The figure above is a line chart showing 1- and 3-year probabilities of continued opioid use among opioid-naïve patients, by number of days’ supply of the first opioid prescription in the United States during 2006–2015.

One- and 3-year probabilities of continued opioid use among opioid-naïve patients, by number of days’ supply* of the first opioid prescription — United States, 2006–2015

* Days’ supply of the first prescription is expressed in days (1–40) in 1-day increments. If a patient had multiple prescriptions on the first day, the prescription with the longest days’ supply was considered the first prescription.
