Governor Ron Desantis was joined by Florida health officials to announce the expansion of a new, piloted substance abuse and recovery network to 'disrupt' the opioid epidemic.
GULF COUNTY, Fla. - In 2021, there were more than 8,000 reported overdose deaths in Florida. Since 2015, Fentanyl-related overdose deaths have increased by 790%. That’s why Wednesday, Governor Ron Desantis was joined by Florida health officials to announce the expansion of a new, piloted substance abuse and recovery network to “disrupt” the opioid epidemic.
“When you are putting Fentanyl out on the streets in the state of Florida, you are killing people by doing that,” said Desantis. “Gulf County, as all rural counties and any county within the state of Florida, is dealing with the Opioid crisis now,” Gulf County Sheriff Mike Harrison said.“There are problems and we continue to focus in on that as best we can. We deal with a lot of Methamphetamine issues over here and the Opioids seem to be going hand in hand with that,” said Harrison.“We’ve had a few this year and statistically we’re looking at about the same stats as Florida does.
