Overview

CDC's DOSE and SUDORS dashboards provide a comprehensive national view of both fatal and nonfatal overdoses. These tools support state, local, tribal, and territorial partners in using timely data to:

  • Prioritize and allocate resources effectively.
  • Tailor overdose prevention and response efforts to specific community needs.
  • Detect emerging drug threats early.
  • Inform proactive strategies to educate the public and guide prevention efforts.

CDC also has data resources on dispensing rates for opioids, naloxone, and buprenorphine, as well as a study on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). These resources help identify gaps in treatment access and inform broader strategies to prevent overdoses and support recovery.

Together, these tools equip public health professionals with the data needed to implement targeted interventions, strengthen data-driven decision-making, and enhance overdose prevention and substance use disorder response efforts.

  1. Please note the use of predicted, not reported deaths. We recommend predicted provisional counts since they are adjusted for incomplete reporting. Predicted counts are also expected to be underestimated, as those counts continue to increase over the first several months after being posted.
  2. This period covers February 2024 to January 2025. This is the most recent national data available.
  3. The comparison is to the 12 months ending in January 2024 (February 2023 to January 2024).
  4. Please note that with each provisional data release, all prior estimates are updated to reflect the most current data available, and estimates will differ from the last monthly update.
