San Francisco on Track for Deadliest Year on Record for Drug Overdoses

  • San Francisco is facing a crisis of increasing overdose deaths, with a projected 845 fatalities in 2023, surpassing the previous record of 725 in 2020.
  • The surge in overdoses can be attributed to a significant increase in the presence of fentanyl on the city's streets, with fentanyl involved in 456 out of 563 overdose deaths.
  • Despite efforts by city and state officials, including declaring a state of emergency in the Tenderloin district and deploying law enforcement assistance, the record number of overdose deaths demonstrates the ongoing struggle to address the fentanyl scourge.
