Steuben County Overdose Report For June 2024

The Steuben County Public Health Department and partners are sharing updated overdose data for June 2024: 37 overdoses were reported, 1 fatality was reported, 3 fatalities are under investigation for potential overdose deaths, and 22 instances of Narcan administration were cited.

“The percentage of Narcan administration for overdoses has risen in 2024 compared to previous years” said Public Health Director, Darlene Smith. “Steuben County and its partners are committed to providing free, accessible Narcan training in order to empower residents to prevent overdoses.”

In June, six of Steuben’s overdose records cited opioids as a suspected drug causing the overdose. Twenty-three overdose records did not note a specific substance or were not able to be accessed for a full review, and the remaining 8 records indicated another substance was suspected to be the cause of an overdose. Other reported substances included alcohol, prescription drugs, and others.

 

Narcan training is available at https://www.steubencountyny.gov/narcan or in-person training can be scheduled by calling Steuben Public Health at 607-664-2438 or reaching out to the Steuben Prevention Coalition https://www.steubenpreventioncoalition.org
