Drug overdoses, both fatal and nonfatal, have become an epidemic in Missouri over the past decade. Missouri ranked 32nd among all states and DC for drug overdose death rates in 2020 and is the #1 leading cause of death among adults age 18-44 in Missouri.

Breaking down drug overdose deaths by drug type can sometimes be complicated as many times more than one drug may be identified, however, most drug overdose deaths (over 70%) do involve opioids. The opioid class of drugs include heroin, fentanyl, methadone, morphine, oxycodone, and many other prescription and non-prescription pain relievers.

The burden of drug overdose impacts families, communities, and healthcare systems. The drug epidemic affects all genders, races, and many age groups.
