SPR s Doug Nadvornick reports. Public health officials say Spokane County appears to be mirroring the state trend for opioid overdoses. The Washington Department of Health reported Tuesday that 418 people died from overdoses during the first quarter of 2021. That’s up from 378 during the first quarter last year. Spokane Regional Health District officials say they also suspect that overdoses are increasing in the county, but they cite a different indicator. Spokane health officials say they don’t have current overdose death numbers. But they do measure how often the overdose-reversing drug naloxone is used to save a life. Samantha Carroll is an overdose prevention specialist at the health district. She’s part of the agency’s needle exchange program. Case workers regularly hand out naloxone kits to their clients.
