The decline in America’s drug overdose deaths appears to have continued in 2024.
This gives experts hope the nation is seeing continued improvement with this enormous epidemic.
There were close to 97, 000 overdose deaths in the 12-month period that ended this past June 30th.
This data comes from the CDC and was just released on Wednesday.
That’s down 14% from the estimated 113,000 for the past 12 months.
