How to use overdose in a sentence?

1. The NCHS:

   Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids( primarily fentanyl) and psychostimulants such as methamphetamine also increased in 2020 compared to 2019. Cocaine deaths also increased in 2020, as did deaths from natural and semi-synthetic opioids( such as prescription pain medication).

2. Alex Kral:

   What the research has shown from the ten countries who have had these sites from the last two decades is that they help the communities, it reduces public injections, needles in the streets, crime and violence in the neighborhood, demand for ambulance services - and people who use these services are less likely to overdose, less likely to get infectious diseases and more likely to get involved in drug treatment.

3. Leana Wen:

   There are people in suburban and rural areas who are dying of overdose, unfortunately, it’s taken this level of people dying to get us to where we are, but I do think a sea of change is occurring, and we are seeing how overdose kills.

4. Sarah Larney:

   People might be surprised that although overdose was the most common cause of death, it's far from the only cause of death that people using opioids outside a prescription experience at excessive rates, smoking-related illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases are common. Trauma is another major factor. People are exposed to car accidents, assaults and other causes of injuries at greater than usual rates, and suicide is also much more common than in the broader population.

5. Susan Sherman:

   We are at a pivotal moment in the overdose epidemic, and we need to embrace the full range of interventions that can save lives.
