United States drug overdose death rates and totals over time

January 01, 1970

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has data on drug overdose death rates and totals. Around 1,106,900 US residents died from drug overdoses from 1968 to 2020, around 932,400 from 1999 through 2020 and around 91,800 in 2020. Of every 100,000 people in 2020 in the US, drugs killed 28. Opioids were involved in around 80,400 of the around 106,700 deaths in 2021. Synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl) were involved with 70,601 deaths in 2021.[3][4][5]

Fentanyl. 2 mg (white powder to the right) is a lethal dose in most people.[1][2] US penny is 19 mm (0.75 in) wide.

Around 110,800 people died in 2022. Around 112,100 people died in the 12-month period ending August 31, 2023, at a rate of 307 deaths per day. That is 34 deaths per 100,000 US residents, using the population at the midpoint of that period.[6][7]

Timeline by drug edit

Concerning the data in the charts below (in this section and the following sections) deaths from the various drugs add up to more than the yearly overdose death total because multiple drugs are involved in many of the deaths.[8]

Opioid charts edit

A two milligram dose of fentanyl powder (on pencil tip) is a lethal amount for most people.[10]

Opioids were involved in around 80,400 of the around 106,700 deaths in 2021.[8] See map higher up for states with the highest overdose death rates.
