Key drivers include expanded access to Narcan, public awareness campaigns, and prevention efforts. Yet, the crisis persists, especially among 35-44-year-olds, with high-fatality counties like Charleston, Greenville, and Horry still struggling. Health leaders urge sustained investment in harm reduction, stigma reduction, and accessible treatment to keep momentum going—because every life lost is a community tragedy, and the fight isn’t over.
