In 2009, the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified Vermont as having one of the highest rates of death due to overdoses (both accidental and suicide) involving opioid analgesics based on 1 year of data (2006).1 Given this disconcerting finding, we sought to examine deaths involving opioid analgesics over time to obtain a clearer picture of the problem.
