Key FactsU.S. Sees Historic Drop in Drug Overdose Deaths

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: cbsnews.com
- In 2024, there were 30,000 fewer drug overdose deaths in the U.S., marking the largest decline in 45 years.
- Despite this drop, annual overdose deaths remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, with overdoses still the leading cause of death among those aged 18 to 44.
- Factors contributing to this reduction include increased access to naloxone, expanded treatment options, and significant financial settlements from opioid lawsuits.
- Experts caution that potential setbacks could arise from federal funding cuts and a shift away from effective strategies currently in place.
We believe that taking a public health approach that seeks to support — not punish — people who use drugs is crucial to ending the overdose crisis.— Dr. Tamara Olt, an Illinois woman whose 16-year-old son died of a heroin overdose in 2012. She is now executive director of Broken No Moore, an advocacy organization focused on substance use disorder.
