Reported Overdose Deaths in New York Have Reached a Record High
New York, like many states, is suffering the consequences of an opioid epidemic. The New York State Department of Health focuses on statewide prevention activities to build a coordinated approach to fight addiction, reduce deaths from overdose and evaluate state and local programs. Efforts include:
Identifying and sharing data between agencies and affected communities
Developing training for health care providers on addiction, pain management and treatment
Making the prescription drug monitoring program easier for providers to access and use
Providing resources to assist communities in combating the opioid epidemic at the local level
Coordinating statewide and community programs to improve the effectiveness of opioid prevention efforts.
As a result of these efforts, New York has restrictions on opioid and other controlled substance prescriptions. New York has also established educational programs for healthcare providers on safe prescribing practices. The state is working to expand the availability of the overdose prevention drug naloxone, and buprenorphine, a type of Medication Assisted Treatment.

I didn't look for the date but its bad any date it wrote.
