Increases in Drug and Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths — United States, 2010–2015
Rose A. Rudd, MSPH; Puja Seth, PhD; Felicita David, MS; et al.
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release)
The U.S. opioid epidemic is continuing, and drug overdose deaths nearly tripled during 1999–2014. Among 47,055 drug overdose deaths that occurred in 2014 in the United States, 28,647 (60.9%) involved an opioid. CDC examined overall drug overdose death rates during 2010–2015 and opioid overdose death rates during 2014–2015. During 2015, drug overdoses accounted for 52,404 U.S. deaths, including 33,091 (63.1%) that involved an opioid. There has been progress in preventing methadone deaths. However, rates of deaths involving other opioids, specifically heroin and synthetic opioids other than methadone (likely driven primarily by illicitly manufactured fentanyl), increased sharply overall and across many states.
