Age-Adjusted Hospitalization Rate due to Heroin Overdose

Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the age-adjusted hospitalization rate due to heroin overdose per 100,000 residents.

Why is this important?

Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that bind to receptors in your brain or body. Common opioids include heroin and prescription drugs such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl. Opioid abuse is a serious public health issue, but preventive actions, limiting the number of opioid prescriptions, and treatment for addiction to prevent future use, can help.

Heroin is a highly addictive opioid drug that affects the central nervous system and has a high potential for abuse. Chronic heroin use results in many damaging effects including physical dependence, tolerance, and deterioration of the brain’s white matter while heroin overdose can cause slow and shallow breathing, coma, and death. From 2010 to 2016, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths increased fivefold.
