US overdose deaths decreased in 2023 – will Trump continue this trend?

74% Informative

Opioid overdose deaths more than doubled during the Obama administration.

Under Biden , deaths increased by 19% from 2020 to 2022 , to 81,806 , before declining by 2% last year .

Some of the decline may have resulted from Biden administration efforts to expand access to harm-reduction services, especially the overdose-reversal drug naloxone.

The best way to reduce the overdose death count would be to make treatment “basically free” and easier to access.

It’s hard to predict how Trump will tackle the overdose crisis the second time around.

Frederique worries that Trump will continue prioritizing drug arrests during his second term.
