10. North Carolina

Deaths 1,457
Drug Overdose Death Rate 15.8

North Carolina went from 366 drug overdose deaths in 1999 to 1,457 in 2015. It is one of the states whose statistic numbers rise steadily each year. Seems like fentanyl is the main synthetic opioid people use, since the usage of it increased by 70%.
