Note:
- Counts, especially those from recent months, are preliminary and subject to change.
- These data include cases where the responding paramedic suspects opioid involvement. This may differ from the final diagnosis or cause of death.
- These data only include instances in which 911 was called, and thus are only an estimate of the total number of opioid-related drug poisonings in the community.
