Graph depicting opioid overdose deaths from 2004 to 2024. The graph includes three lines: total drug overdoses (dark blue), opioids (purple), and non-opioids (green). All lines rise sharply until peaking around 2021, then declining in 2024. Lines show total overdoses higher than opioids, which are higher than non-opioids. Data source: KFF analysis of CDC WONDER files.

Opioid overdose deaths fell sharply from 2023 to 2024 (79,358 to 54,045), driven largely by decreases in fentanyl-involved deaths.

Even after these declines, deaths remained above 2019, the year before opioid deaths increased sharply during the pandemic. https://on.kff.org/4sumABw
