Health Department Sounds Alarm About Fentanyl-Involved Overdoses

(Providence, RI) -- The Rhode Island Department of Health says fentanyl-contaminated drugs are continuing to accelerate the state's overdose crisis. On Tuesday, the state reported an increase in the percentage of fentanyl involvement in overdose deaths last year. Officials also said there were more accidental fatal ODs in 2020 than any previous year on record, which could have been fueled by COVID-related social isolation.
