With the rise of fentanyl-laced drugs thought to be safe, the life you save could be closer to home than you think.

Drug overdose deaths reached another record level in the United States this spring, data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows, as 2023 is on track to be another devastating year amid the drug epidemic. More than 111,000 people died from a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending in April.
