Behind every statistic is a story. Behind every number is a name.
In this episode of Logan’s Voice, Doug — Logan’s Dad — takes a closer look at the overdose statistics we hear in the news. With provisional 2024 data showing nearly 80,000 lives lost, down from 110,000 the year before, some headlines suggest things are “improving.” But the truth is, we are still in a deadly crisis — and new poisons like xylazine and carfentanil aren’t even fully reflected in the data.
Doug breaks down what the numbers really mean, what they fail to capture, and why we must keep saying the names of those we’ve lost — including his son, Logan.
