Timeline by drug
editConcerning the data in the charts below (in this section and the following sections) deaths from the various drugs add up to more than the yearly overdose death total because multiple drugs are involved in many of the deaths.[7]
Opioid charts
editOpioids were involved in around 80,400 of the around 106,700 deaths in 2021.[7] See map higher up for states with the highest overdose death rates.

editComparisons to other countries in Europe
editThere were around 68,700 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2018. That is a rate of 210 deaths per million residents.[4][5] Compare that rate to the 2018 rates of the European countries in the first chart below.
