What is the cause of the current opioid epidemic in the United States? Why is it so bad?

I am a French and I often see Americans and Canadians talking about the opioid epidemic that seems to have hit their countries very hard for some years now. In Europe we also have public health problems because of drugs, but what is happening in the United States seems much more dramatic.

So I was wondering if an American or a Canadian could explain to me the origins of this epidemic, and if it's as bad as it looks (from what I saw, it looks very, very bad, at least in some states like Ohio).

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Gimme a reason. Please. For YEARS Colossi getting thrown our way has been the leading cause of depression in the United States. Help put an end to the epidemic by voting for Colossus to receive a juicy buff. Do the right thing. Do it for the children. Do it for America. Do it for the organic steel.
