Drug overdoses have reached record high, per latest CDC report: ‘Grim statistics'
Fox News
The CDC announced that drug overdoses have reached a record high as one expert emphasized the need for education around the dangers of hidden substances, such as fentanyl.
This was a marginal increase from 2021, when 106,669 people died of drug overdoses. "Fentanyl can be mixed with other substances without the user’s knowledge, putting them at much greater risk of overdose."

Overdoses are still the leading cause of death for adults in the country, largely driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid drug.
