Fentanyl contributed to a staggering 76% of overdose deaths in 2021 in Virginia. And in 2022, the Opioid Crisis still has a firm grasp on the Commonwealth and the Hampton Roads region. Drug overdoses kill more Virginians than car crashes and gun violence combined. But it wasn’t always this way.Just 10 years ago, back in 2012, only 50 people died from fentanyl overdoses across Virginia. But fentanyl first began really showing up on Virginia streets in 2014, and it’s been a crisis ever since. This year, health officials estimate it will kill almost 2,000 Virginians.
