This indicator shows the rate of non-fatal emergency department admissions due to opioid overdose.
Why is this important?
Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that bind to receptors in your brain or body. Common opioids include heroin and prescription drugs such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl. Opioid abuse is a serious public health issue, but preventive actions, treatment for addiction, and proper response to overdoses can help.
