Since 2000, the rate of deaths from drug overdoses has increased 137%,
including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids
(opioid pain relievers and heroin). CDC analyzed recent multiple cause-of-death
mortality data to examine current trends and characteristics of drug-overdose
deaths, including types of opioids associated with drug-overdose deaths.
This report summarizes that analysis.
