Overdose deaths are falling, but more still needs to be done to address the addiction crisis, says Keith Humphreys of @healthpolicy.stanford.edu.
“As important as overdose prevention is, we should aspire to more than keeping people alive for the next 24 hours,” he tells @kqednews.kqed.org.
San Francisco recorded 49 deaths by accidental drug overdose last month, bringing the year’s total so far to 148. Both figures represent declines compared to recent years.
