What do you know about Baltimore and Maryland are among the cities and states facing the worst economic impact of the opioid overdose crisis?

Maryland is rated fourth for in total per-capita costs of the opioid epidemic estimated at  $3,337 per-capita. More specifically Baltimore is also rated fourth nationwide cost of the opioid crisis behind 2 other counties in West Virginia being at $7,984 per resident. I decided to use this article to describe this course first of al because it is where I'm from and I was curious about the opioid crisis where I was from. But I was astonished to find out that Baltimore has the worse opioid problem only behind West Virginia. I think that when people think of the opioid crisis they automatically think of West Virginia or New Hampshire but I was surprised to find out that Baltimore was right up there with West Virginia.
