When RIDOH data show an increase in overdoses, the Department sends out an overdose spike alert. These alerts help communities know what is happening and connect people to local overdose prevention, treatment, and recovery resources.
Increases in overdoses can happen because the drug supply is always changing. Fentanyl and other very strong substances are in all types of drugs, including he**in, co***ne, and counterfeit pills.
