\n

The United States hit a grim record of 106,699 drug overdose deaths<\/a> in 2021, a 16% increase over 2020, the CDC said in its final report released this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid<\/a> up to 50 times stronger than heroin, is driving the surge. Drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl jumped 22% in 2021, the CDC said. Heroin overdoses, meanwhile, decreased 32%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The CDC previously reported that as many as 107,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in 2021, but revised that number down slightly in their final tally after examining death records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FENTANYL AND A STRONGER FORM OF METH NOW DRIVING AMERICAN HOMELESS CRISIS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The flow of fentanyl<\/a> into the United States has not abated in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The DEA announced this week that it seized 379 million potentially deadly doses of fentanyl this year, including 50.6 million fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills and 10,000 pounds of powder fentanyl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drug overdose deaths from cocaine and other stimulants also spiked in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The increase in drug overdose deaths in 2021 helped drive U.S. life expectancy to a 25-year low of 76.4 years<\/a> last year, the CDC said separately on Thursday. The coronavirus pandemic was the other main factor in declining life expectancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
