In Ohio, the availability of illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin remain high, but a growing concern in the state is the increased availability of fentanyl and carfentanil, extremely potent synthetic opioids.
Fentanyl is the leading opioid of abuse in OH and is surpassing heroin in terms of sales in many areas.1 In fact, since 2013, Ohio law enforcement have consistently reported one of the highest rates of fentanyl encounters in the country.2
Meth use has also become more prevalent over the past few years, with cases increasing by 20% from 2015 to 2016.3 Law enforcement officers in some OH regions suggest that in a few years, more residents will be using crystal meth than heroin due to its availability and lower cost.4
Drug overdose deaths in Ohio reached 3,310 in 2015—the second highest in the country—an increase of 21.5% from 2014.4 Synthetic opioids seem to be a major reason for this high number, with the number of overdose deaths from this drug more than doubling in 2015 and accounting for almost 40% of deadly overdoses.5 Natural and semi-synthetic opioids, in contrast, accounted for 20% of total overdose deaths that same year.6
