Description:The Drug Overdose Epidemic Continues to Worsen in the United States
Drug overdose deaths continue to impact our nation and remain a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. The majority of overdose deaths involve opioids. Deaths involving synthetic opioids (largely illicitly made fentanyl) and stimulants (such as cocaine and methamphetamine) have increased in recent years. In addition, overdose deaths have accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the worsening and expanding drug overdose epidemic in the United States involves potent synthetic opioids, often in combination with other drugs, timely and comprehensive surveillance and evidence-based prevention and response strategies remain essential.
