10 suspected overdose deaths in a week lead to an Overdose Alert in Hamilton County.

Hamilton County reports 10 suspected overdose deaths in a week, prompting an Overdose Alert from the local Addiction Response Coalition. The rise may be linked to fentanyl-laced substances and lack of harm reduction practices. Residents are encouraged to use Narcan, safe injection supplies, and to call 911 during overdoses. Despite this spike, overall overdose deaths in the county have decreased significantly compared to last year.
