Deaths from drug overdose are on the decline in New Hampshire | State
More Americans are dying from drug overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There was an estimated 100,306 fatal overdose in the 12 months to April 2021. This is the most reported event to date over a 12-month period, doubling the total number of car accidents and firearm deaths.
Record numbers of fatal overdose increased by 29% year-on-year, more than double the number reported in 2014. Public health experts attribute it to the growth of fentanyl. It is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine, as is the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has isolated many Americans suffering from addiction while reducing treatment options and care resources.
New Hampshire is one of four states with reduced mortality from drug overdose. It is estimated that in the 12 months to April 2021, there was a fatal overdose of 372 in New Hampshire, compared to 401 in the same period last year. The 7.2% decrease is ranked as the second largest improvement in any state.
Still, in New Hampshire, deaths associated with certain types of illicit drugs are increasing. Among all drug classifications identified by the CDC, including synthetic and semi-synthetic opioids, psychostimulants such as cocaine, heroin, methanephetamine, and methadone, a drug used to treat heroin and opioid addiction. Methadone showed the largest increase in deaths in the state, up 30.8% year-on-year.
The fatal drug overdose rate in New Hampshire is currently 27.0 per 100,000, the 23rd lowest of all states. Nationally, the case fatality rate per person is 30.3 per 100,000.
All overdose data used in this story is from the National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the CDC. To account for pending investigations and incomplete counts, the reported numbers are estimates calculated by NCHS. Population-adjusted case fatality rates were calculated using population estimates from the US Census Bureau’s 10-year census.
