| A 15-year-old girl was found dead of a suspected overdose by her mother in January. | ||||||||||
The early February death of a student in Arlington, Virginia, after he overdosed in the school bathroom has school districts throughout the region on guard.| In neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, there were 30 nonfatal opioid overdoses in the first month of 2023. | A school official told local lawmakers that Narcan has been administered twice so far in this school year. | In February, CNN reported on a couple arrested in Carrollton, Texas, after 10 juveniles overdosed and three died. Authorities said they traced a deluge of pills known as “M30s” from middle and high schools in the area to one house. M30s are counterfeit synthetic opioids pressed to look like prescription oxycodone. | In Hays County, Texas, during the summer and first week of the school year, four students died of suspected fentanyl poisoning. Another student, a 14-year-old, died in January. | Lake Travis Fire Rescue Chief Robert Abbott told CNN there were five nonfatal overdoses in his community outside Austin, Texas, in a little more than 24 hours between Sunday and Monday. | “I can tell you this opioid crisis is present in every demographic that we represent,” Abbott said. “It’s in the affluent areas; it’s in the poorest and the middle-class areas. And it’s often with people who have no experience using narcotics.” | | It’s hard to believe data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually showed a slight decrease in the number of overdose deaths last year. The number is still painfully and tragically high: In the 12-month period ending September 2022, the US government predicted 106,840 drug overdose deaths. | The epidemic is presenting itself in different ways across the country. A CDC dashboard shows a substantial increase in a number of nonfatal overdoses in states stretching from Georgia up to Pennsylvania, along with a band of spikes in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky and also Washington state. | | |
