Just a different form of supply shock - to the supply of users.
Living in downtown SF for the last two years has made it painfully obvious those using fent on the streets are not long for this world. It'd an inherently self-solving problem, grim but true.
There is also a never ending supply of destitute and destined-to-be-destitute in America. The people may change but the problem persists.
Not all (probably not even most) destitute people become opiate addicts. People become destitute because they are opiate addicts, it's not the other way around.

I think there is a word for this...
