9. Massachusetts

Deaths 1,567
Drug Overdose Death Rate 25.7

Massachusetts went from 488 drug overdose deaths in 1999 to 1.567 in 2015. Almost 70% of these deaths are because of the use of fentanyl.

Fentanyl is mostly prescribed for chronic pain, however most of the patients have a hard time of letting it go once they’re healthy hence the addiction.
