Ohio overdose deaths decline about 5% in 2022 vs. 2021

Overdose deaths declined about 5% in Ohio in 2022 vs. 2021, according to a Harm Reduction Ohio analysis of preliminary Ohio Department of Health mortality data. Increased deaths among people who use cocaine and meth are driving today’s high level of overdose death. Fentanyl is also found in 80% of cocaine/meth overdose deaths. In short, adulteration of cocaine and meth — drugs which can cause problems on their own but rarely death — is the key problem in today’s stimulant-driven overdose epidemic.
