The deaths for overdose drugs decrease in 2024, reports CDC

Deaths in the United States fell by almost 30,000 last year, the government reported on Wednesday, the strongest sign that the country is making progress against one of its most fatal and insoluble public health crises.

The data published by the centers for the control and prevention of diseases are the latest reports in the past year and offer indications that the drug -related fatalities that have exchanged families and communities could alleviate.

Experts in public health carefully observed the monthly updates with skepticism and then with growing hope. The report on Wednesday was the most encouraging so far. Deaths decreased in all important categories of drug use, stimulants and opioids and dropped out of two except two. Nationwide, drug celebrations immersed them by almost 27 percent.

“This is a decline that we have been waiting for more than a decade,” said Dr. Matthew Christiansen, doctor and former director of the Drug Control Policy in West Virginia. “We invested hundreds of billions of dollars in addiction.”

Search specialists said that changes in the illegal pharmaceutical supply as well as greater access to drug treatment and the use of naloxone for declining overdose seemed to pay, but whether the country could maintain this progress was an open question.

At the announcement of the new figures, the CDC President Trump praised and said in a statement that the government has declared an emergency for public health in 2017 since its “Opioid crisis” in order to add more resources to combat the drug problem.
