KY drug overdose deaths decline for 1st time in 4 years

From Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On April 20, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky's drug overdose deaths declined in 2022 by 5% compared with 2021, marking the first decline since 2018.

According to the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC), 2,127 Kentuckians died from a drug overdose in 2022 compared with 2,257 in 2021.

"While we find hope in the decline in drug overdose deaths, this remains a public health crisis that we must continue to work together to address," said Gov. Beshear. "We have done a lot of work to help Kentuckians fight addiction, but there is more to do and more lives to save. And I promise to be there every step of the way."

On March 24, the Governor signed two pieces of legislation to support ongoing efforts to help Kentuckians fighting addiction.
