New provisional data from CDC's National Vital Statistics System
predict a nearly 24% decline in drug overdose deaths in the United
States for the 12 months ending in September 2024, compared to the
previous year. This is the most recent national data available and
shows a continued steep decline in overdose deaths. Provisional data
shows about 87,000 drug overdose deaths from October 2023 to September
2024, down from around 114,000 the previous year. This is the fewest
overdose deaths in any 12-month period since June 2020.
