Drug overdose deaths in Kentucky fell by 5% in 2022, offering a sign of hope that treatment efforts are relieving an addiction epidemic that remains a public health crisis, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday.
pointed to a 50% increase in the number of drug treatment beds in Kentucky since he became governor in late 2019 - part of bipartisan efforts to bolster drug prevention and intervention efforts.
Much more work remains to overcome what remains a public health crisis, but the decline in overdose deaths offers some good news in the state’s fight against the opioid and drug epidemic,“It ought to give us at least hope - hope that progress is possible,” the governor said. “Hope that we can see fewer deaths next year than we saw this year. Hope that we can get more people better and back with their families, back in society, back in a good job.
Last month’s preliminary jobless rate was unchanged from the 3.8% statewide rate recorded one year ago, according to the Kentucky Center for Statistics.
