Drug overdose remains a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Overdoses involving prescription and illicit opioids take the lives of 128 people every day. Kentucky is among the top ten states with the highest number of opioid-related over
dose deaths. In 2018, Madison County recorded the second highest mortality rate from overdoses in the state. In 2019, Madison County had the third highest rates of all Kentucky counties (trailing only behind much more populous Jefferson and Fayette counties) for fentanyl-related deaths and methamphetamine-related overdoses.
