2018- 151 deaths

Opioids include heroin, opioid-based prescription painkillers and other unspecified opioids. This data was taken from the Mass State Police, the Plymouth County Drug Abuse Task Force Database, PCO and the Department of Public Health (DPH). 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.

*2022 Data was taken from the PCDATF Database, consistent with data collected by PCO and MSP. DPH numbers are inflated showing an additional 65 fatal overdoses. This number reflects the number of fatal overdoses that occurred outside of Plymouth County that were transported to a hospital within Plymouth County.

**Number reflected as of September 30, 2023. Annual 2023 data has not been provided by PCO.
