The number of fatal overdoses that the state police responded have increased from last year.

Opioids include heroin, opioid-based prescription painkillers and other unspecified opioids. This data was taken from the Mass State Police and the Plymouth County Drug Abuse Task Force Database. This data is preliminary and subject to change, as a large number of death certificates have yet to be assigned a final cause of death code.

* Data for 2014-2016 is from the DPH.
