Background

Overdose deaths caused by illicit fentanyl have critically impacted communities, families, and youth in Orange County. Most notably, 35 youth between 10 – 17 years of age died of a fentanyl-related overdose from the five year period of 2018 to 2024 (preliminary data for 2024). Combining all age groups, Orange County experienced 94 fentanyl related overdose deaths in 2018 compared to 358 (preliminary) in 2024. Although Orange County continues to experience a reduction, there is still significant prevention and education work to be done.

Fentanyl is a potent, synthetic opioid that can be prescribed by a practitioner or obtained from unregulated sources. Illicitly produced fentanyl is now commonly found in fake pills, resembling legitimate prescription medication, purchased on the streets and online. In 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than 60 million fentanyl-laced fake pills and nearly 8,000 pounds of fentanyl powder. The 2024 seizures are equivalent to more than 380 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

Given these realities, it is important that everyone has access to accurate and timely information about overdose risks, prevention, understanding of what to look for, how to respond when an overdose occurs and knowing available treatment resources can help save lives.
