Description:

Drug overdoses have dramatically increased over the last two decades, with deaths more than tripling between 1999 and 2016. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it the leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Of those deaths, about 68 percent involved a prescription or illicit opioid. Adults between the ages of 25 and 54 years old have the highest rates of overdose deaths.
