The Impact COVID-19 is Having On The Opioid Crisis Did you know that more than 67,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2018, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States? Imagine the affects COVID-19 is having on the Opioid Crisis. Issue brief: Reports of increases in opioid-related overdose and other concerns during COVID pandemic *Updated July 8, 2020 As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, so does the nation’s opioid epidemic. The AMA is greatly concerned by an increasing number of reports from national, state and local media suggesting increases in opioid-related mortality—particularly from illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs. More than 35 states have reported increases in opioid-related mortality as well as ongoing concerns for those with a mental illness or substance use disorder in counties and other areas within the state.This also includes new reports about the need for evidence-based harm reduction services, including sterile needle and syringe services and naloxone. SOURCE : American Medical Association  |  A Crisis In Our Community There's An Opioid Problem In Our Communities The Epidemic is Really Real Locally, Franklin County has realized a 343% increase in deaths between 2003-2016. Whitehall,
per capita, has been one of the hardest hit cities in the county with
overdose rates five times higher than the Franklin County average. Information above was taken from the City of Whitehall website atwww.whitehall-oh.us/426/Whitehalls-Help-for-Overdoses |
