Drug overdoses were down in Nevada by almost 13 percent in 2014 – the second biggest drop in the country, at a time when many states are seeing major increases, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Since 2000, the rate of drug overdose deaths across the country has gone up 137 percent – with more than 47-thousand deaths in 2014 alone. Meanwhile, Nevada went from 614 deaths in 2013 to 545 in 2014. But Kevin Quint with the Nevada Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency says heroin deaths, more than doubled, from 19 in 2010 to 52 in 2014, so it’s heartening that the stats in Nevada are trending downward overall.
