The Gainesville area recorded 34.9 drug overdose deaths per 100,000 residents (CDC WONDER 2022). Across Florida, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and prescription opioids remain the primary drivers of overdose deaths. Local overdose trends reflect broader regional patterns in illicit drug supply contamination — particularly fentanyl's widespread presence in what users believe to be heroin, cocaine, or pressed pills.
