More than 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, setting another tragic record in the nation's escalating overdose epidemic.
NEW YORK -- More than 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, setting another tragic record in the nation's escalating overdose epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated Wednesday.
Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, called the latest numbers"truly staggering." U.S. overdose deaths have risen most years for more than two decades. The increase began in the 1990s with overdoses involving opioid painkillers, followed by waves of deaths led by other opioids like heroin and - most recently - illicit fentanyl.
Overdose deaths are often attributed to more than one drug. Some people take multiple drugs and inexpensive fentanyl has been increasingly cut into other drugs, often without the buyers' knowledge, officials say.
