Fentanyl spike in ODs returns to historical levels, which is less alarming but not good

March 15, 2024 by Marin Leave a Comment

The Marin County Health Department in its regular report on Friday, March 15, reports:

“In response to a cluster of overdoses in our community in late February, Marin Public Health released an Overdose Spike Alert for March 1-14, 2024. The overdose rate has returned to historical averages, and the alert will not be renewed. Overdose remains the leading cause of death in Marin residents aged 55 and younger, and we’re seeking new tools to address this crisis.  

“The Overdose Spike Alert is a new process, and we’re looking for your feedback. Please respond to this 5 minute, anonymous survey and let us know if you saw the alert, how you responded, and how we can improve. All responses will be kept confidential and used to improve these alerts in the future.”
