Experts call for increases in treatment and support — ‘not enough is being done’
Drug overdoses reached a new high last year in the U.S., according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Nearly 108,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2022, the agency said.
This was a marginal increase from 2021, when 106,669 people died of drug overdoses.
Overdoses are still the leading cause of death for adults in the country, largely driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid drug.
Over the past two decades, the rate of drug overdose deaths has spiked from 8.2 per 100,000 people in the year 2000 to 32.6 per 100,000 in 2022, per the CDC.
