The devastating human and financial costs of the ongoing global opioid crisis underscore the need for comprehensive public health strategies, effective treatment programs, and robust policy interventions to mitigate its impact. Regarding Israel, numerous reports highlight a steady increase since 2000 in prescription opioid use and the shift to more potent opioids particularly fentanyl, particularly among more marginalized population groups. In response to growing concern in the country about the rise in prescription opioid use and the consequential risk of opioid use disorder, the Israeli government, together with the country's health service providers, implemented a series of measures to monitor and regulate opioid prescriptions and balance the need for effective pain management with the prevention of opioid abuse and its associated harms.
