Drug Use and Overdose in New York City

New York City experienced its first major decline in overdose deaths in nearly a decade in 2024, mirroring the national trend. NYC Health Department data show 2,192 overdose deaths citywide in 2024, down 28% from 3,056 in 2023, with fentanyl involved in 73% of deaths, down from 80% the year before.

The decline in overdose deaths reached every borough, but not evenly across each borough. The Bronx continues to carry the highest overdose rate in the city, and Staten Island saw the sharpest improvement of the five.

• 2,192 overdose deaths citywide in 2024, a 28% decrease from 2023
• 60.1 deaths per 100,000 Bronx residents in 2024, the highest of the five boroughs and more than double Manhattan’s rate of 26.8
• 49% decline in Staten Island’s overdose death rate from 2023 to 2024, the largest improvement of any borough

Nationally, overdose deaths continued falling into 2025, a third straight annual decline (CDC provisional data).

Treatment Options In and Near New York City

Treatment for opioid and other substance use disorders is available across all five boroughs, ranging from outpatient counseling to inpatient detox and residential care.

Medications for opioid use disorder, including methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, are evidence-based treatments that work alongside NA rather than in competition with it. Many people in recovery use both.

To find a licensed treatment provider near you in any borough, search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code, or call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24 hours a day.

NYC’s Relay program connects people who have had a nonfatal overdose with a peer support specialist in the emergency department, now offered at 16 hospitals across the city.

Naloxone and Harm Reduction

Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose and is widely available across New York City. Every pharmacy in New York State can dispense it under a statewide standing order, no individual prescription required, and it’s also available over the counter at pharmacies and many retailers.

• Free naloxone kits at participating NYC pharmacies and community-based Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs, plus 24/7 public health vending machines.
• Insurance copay assistance of up to $40 through the state’s Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program.
• Over 304,000 naloxone kits distributed by the NYC Health Department in 2024 alone.

New York’s 911 Good Samaritan Law protects both the person who overdoses and the person who calls for help from certain drug possession charges, so calling 911 during an overdose is protected. 800-934-1582(Sponsored) Learn more about recognizing and responding to an overdose on our overdose resource page, or find a naloxone pickup location through the NYC Health naloxone finder.
