Overdose deaths in the US have dropped by about 10%, the largest decline in decades - falling to an estimated 101,168 deaths annually as of April 2024, according to an analysis of state-level data.

Emergency room visits for overdose are down by 24% and 911 first-responder calls for overdoses are down by 16.7%. Some of the biggest changes are being seen in eastern states, while some states in the west are still struggling with higher rates.

Overdoses rose precipitously in the first three years of the pandemic, reaching a peak of 111,029 deaths in 2022. Overdose deaths more than quintupled in the past 25 years, with the majority caused by opioids - especially the powerful drug fentanyl.

...

There was a 3% drop in 2023, the first decrease in five years, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in May.

While the reasons for the decline are not immediately clear, researchers and those on the frontlines believe it is driven by changes in the drug supply as well as improved access to treatment and harm reduction programs.
