CDC recently released data on overdose deaths in 2024. Estimates show that approximately 80,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2024, marking a 27% decline from 2023 – the largest one year drop ever recorded. While this drop in overdose deaths provides hope, we know there is still work to do to sustain that progress.
This video breaks down what could be behind the decline – from expanded access to naloxone and treatment, to shifts in drug supply and addiction funding. It’s an expert look at the data, explaining what is happening and why it matters.
