The number of opioid related overdose deaths in Plymouth County have decreased from last year.

2014 - 110 deaths
2015 - 174 deaths
2016 - 190 deaths
2017- 202 deaths
2018- 151 deaths
2019- 176 deaths
2020- 185 deaths
2021- 167 deaths
2022- *125 deaths/DPH data- 190 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.
