The Dispatch
Last year, as Davidson County grappled with a global pandemic, it also faced another health crisis — the opioid epidemic.
Health care professionals at the county’s two emergency rooms dealt with an increasing number of people who headed to the ER for overdosing on opioids. But last year proved to be much different than years past. The number of overdose visits to the county’s ERs reached its highest in a decade, according to data reported by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
In Davidson County, 196 people were recorded to have visited the county’s two emergency rooms. That’s 16 people overdosing per month, or one person every other day.
