Jacksonville opioid-related overdose deaths have jumped 2,000% in 6 years

Opiod cases rise during covid-19 pandemic
“I don’t care what neighborhood, I don’t care what financial background, education, it doesn’t discriminate one bit,” said Jacksonville Fire And Rescue Department spokesperson Eric Prosswimmer. “It’s a daily event. Some stations they say that’s all they go on.”
Prosswimmer said overdoses were once considered a “big call” because they did not happen every day, but that’s no longer the case. Prosswimmer said first responders prepare for almost all calls to be overdoses.
Data from JFRD shows opioid-related overdoses rose from 16 incidents in January 2015 to 336 in May 2021. That’s a 2,000% increase.
