## Resource

San Francisco’s overdose death rate is dropping — 40 in June, down 9% from last year, with a 27% decline so far this year compared to 2024 — but officials stress the numbers are still too high. The city is ramping up efforts with wastewater testing to track emerging drugs like xylazine, expanding treatment and outreach, and redirecting people to recovery centers like RESET instead of jail — all part of a bold push to not just save lives, but help people thrive.
