"It never stopped being a problem.”"

- Elyse Monroy, Program Manager, Nevada Overdose Data to Action, explains that in 2020, during the pandemic, overdoses are up 55% from 2019, and they are seeing alarming increases in specific populations, including the Hispanic community and young adult age range. She also notes Nevada never stopped having a meth problem, and the state is now seeing a fentanyl crisis through fentanyl-laced stimulants, like meth and cocaine, that are driving overdoses.
