PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon is once again seeing an increase in drug overdose deaths, year over year, even as the national average is trending downward.
The Oregon Health Authority releases data on overdose deaths annually. The latest report, released this week, covers Oregon overdose data from 2023. That is due to the fact that it takes nearly a year to gather and analyze the information, officials said. The data for 2024 is still being processed.
