Is Illinois on the podium for Opioid overdoses?

Yes! We're smoking NY, Ohio and all those other states that get all the press.

On the other hand, because we provide EMT personnel with Narcan, our fatal overdose rate is 23rd in the country. Almost 3,000 residents of our state died last year from opioid overdoses. In contrast, about 1,300 people were homicide victims.
