Florida Overdoses 2022-23

In 2022, Florida experienced a significant increase in fentanyl overdoses. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, there were 3,849 fentanyl-related deaths in the state that year, representing a 49% increase from the previous year. The majority of these deaths occurred in individuals between the ages of 25 and 54, with men being more likely to overdose than women. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine and is often mixed with other drugs, making it even more dangerous. The rise in fentanyl overdoses highlights the urgent need for increased education, prevention, and treatment efforts to combat this deadly epidemic.
