Public Health watching for signs of overdose amid recent spikes

Eugene Police Department issued a safety advisory Dec. 9 regarding a sudden increase in overdoses in the Eugene area. Recently, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) reported a 70 percent increase in overdose deaths for April/May of this year compared to last year. OHA reported that the recent increases in overdose death appear to be driven by the presence of fentanyl in the drug supply. The increase in overdoses in the Eugene area may be an indicator that the drug supply may be mixed with fentanyl. Fentanyl has been found in heroin and other opioid substances, meth, cocaine and ecstasy. Any street drug may be mixed with fentanyl. Fentanyl may be mixed into the illicit drug supply because it is cheaper to produce and extremely potent. Fentanyl is also a prescription medication that can be misused, similar to other prescription opioid medications.
