 This is the Publix Radio. I'm Luis Hernandez. Last year, Rhode Island saw a decrease in annual drug overdose deaths. This according to new numbers from the State Department of Health. It was the first decline in overdose deaths in five years. It's welcome news in the midst of an opioid crisis that's still claiming the lives of more than 400 Rhode Islanders every year. And advocates hope it's a sign that Rhode Island's overdose prevention strategies are working.
