CDC Provisional Drug Overdose Death Count Data

This CDC dashboard tracks fatal drug overdoses across the U.S. and by state, with data updated every month. Because overdose deaths take time to investigate and confirm, the dashboard shows two numbers: the deaths reported so far, and a predicted total that accounts for cases still under review. It also shows how overdose deaths are trending compared to the previous year and which drugs are involved, such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine. Data are available for each state, including Nevada, and can be viewed online or downloaded.

Identifying, Addressing, and Treating The Dual Epidemics of Hepatitis C Virus and Opioid Use Disorder

Substance use disorders are common in the United States, with 2024 data indicating that more than 1 in 4 (25.5%) of persons 12 years of age or older used an illicit drug in the past year. The availability of highly effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications has radically changed the assessment and consideration of substance use, and more specifically opioid use, in hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment decisions. This 90-minute webinar will provide an overview of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), including a focus on defining key epidemiological aspects, contrasting recent treatment advancements, and evaluating the integration of HCV testing and treatment into medications for addiction treatment (MAT)/medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) programs and opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Attendees will learn practical strategies to improve HCV management and enhance patient outcomes.
