U.S. drug overdose deaths fell by 20.6 percent over the course of one year, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Meanwhile, Louisiana, Florida, Virginia, New York, Vermont, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia saw more than 30 percent decreases in drug overdose deaths.

Nationwide drug overdose deaths fell by approximately 27% in 2024, dropping from roughly 110,000 in 2023 to about 80,400, marking the lowest level since 2019.

Fentanyl Drops: Fentanyl-related deaths fell from over 76,000 in 2023 to just over 48,000 in 2024.


Yeah, I guess all those headlines of fentanyl deaths finally got through.

either that or the heavy risk users didn't survive until 2024

Notice the years.

2019, 2023, specifically.

You'll see similar patterns with all sorts of pathologies, like violent crrime.

Good deal. Keeping up the good work from the past few years. There was a 14.5% decrease from 2023-2024.

2024, Biden's last year, had a 27% decrease. It appears 2025 is estimated to have a 25% decrease.

It's clear this is non-partisan like with violent crime
