Opioid Deaths Increase 30% | Alton Daily News

By Kevin Bessler - Illinois Radio Network The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on opioid overdoses, as deaths have increased in Illinois. The Senate Healthcare Access and Availability committee heard testimony Tuesday from several witnesses related to the crisis, including representatives from health care, judicial and social work fields. Dr. Leslie Wise with the Illinois Department of Public Health said the number of lives lost in 2020 to the opioid epidemic in Illinois was 2,872, a 30% increase from 2019. “The substance abuse landscape across the state is very different depending on location, however synthetic opioids, specifically fentanyl, are the main cause of fatal drug overdoses statewide,” said Wise.
