Nearly 20% more Iowans died of drug overdoses in 2020 than in the previous year, as the powerful narcotic fentanyl became more prevalent and the COVID pandemic compounded people's anxiety and isolated them from addiction treatment services.
A new report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates Iowa suffered 419 drug overdose deaths last year, compared to 350 in 2019. The nation as a whole saw a 29% increase in such deaths, for a record total over 93,000, the report says. Most neighboring states saw steeper increases in overdose deaths than Iowa did, although South Dakota was one of just two states in the country that had a decrease.
