Louisiana's drug overdose deaths fell 31% from 2023 to 2024, driven by naloxone access, treatment, and law enforcement actions.
Louisiana saw a 31% drop in drug overdose deaths from 2023 to 2024, with fentanyl-related fatalities falling over a third, attributed to expanded naloxone distribution, improved access to treatment, and public health outreach.
The decline, the largest in four years, was observed across all drug categories and mirrored a national trend, with fentanyl overdose deaths dropping 58.5% to 70% in three New Orleans-area parishes.
Law enforcement credited coordinated efforts targeting cartels, asset seizures, and reduced fentanyl potency.
The state is set to receive $69 million from a settlement by mid-2026.
