- U.S. overdose deaths dropped last year for the first time in nearly two decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday, in a sign that a nationwide epidemic of drug-related deaths is abating.
About 68,500 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2018, compared with about 72,000 the year prior, a 5% decrease, according to the CDC’s provisional data.Some physicians describe the decrease as “encouraging,” but not worthy of celebrating. Lembke said the number of people battling substance abuse was another crucial metric in evaluating progress in fighting the epidemic. That data is not included in the CDC’s figures.
