As opioid-related deaths continue to rise across the nation, the DMV and the Greater Baltimore area has also experienced an alarming increase in fatal opioid overdoses. National trends largely reflect new opioid users who are White (non-Hispanic), younger adults who begin their addiction by experimenting with prescription drugs with the potential of progressing to heroin usage (Phillips, et.al, 2017).
However, from 2016 to 2019, opioid-related fatal overdoses were most prevalent in the DMV. In 2020, 94% of fatal opioid overdoses involved fentanyl or a fentanyl analog (compared to 22% of cases in the first quarter of 2015).
