Accidental Drug Overdose Deaths Occurring in Rhode Island by Month/Year

The overdose data webpage is the process of being restructured. Information from additional data sources will be added to the site. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Emergency Department (ED) data will be provided on nonfatal drug overdoses, and information from the State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) will be added on fatal drug overdoses.

* Data are not complete and do not reflect the total number of deaths for the month.
Drug overdoses in Rhode Island are a public health crisis.
