Episode Details

Overdose deaths in the U.S. decreased in most states last year, marking a significant shift in the crisis. Factors contributing to this decline include increased access to naloxone, improved addiction care, and less potent fentanyl supply. However, researchers caution that the numbers could surge again with policy changes or supply shifts. Despite the progress, new drugs are already being detected, some even stronger than fentanyl. The Trump administrations shift away from harm reduction towards punishment is a concern. Moms whove lost children to overdoses are pushing for continued harm reduction efforts to maintain the momentum.
