"Last month, 32 people died of accidental overdoses in the city; there were 70 deaths in October 2023, according to a report of preliminary data from the city's office of the chief medical examiner."
"London Breed, the San Francisco mayor, attributed the progress to the city's expanded resources, access to medicines to help people break addiction and targeted enforcement disrupting the fentanyl supply chain."
"San Francisco experienced its deadliest year for drug overdoses in 2023 as the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl became more widely available in the US drug supply."
"Experts have not determined the exact reasons behind the decline, but they say it could be the result of more harm-reduction initiatives and community support."
