明尼苏达州阿片类过量死亡连续第三年下降：2025年671人，芬太尼死亡减少6%
明尼苏达州拉姆西县圣保罗市消息：明尼苏达州卫生厅（Minnesota Department of Health, MDH）10月27日发布《全州药物过量趋势：2025年数据更新》报告，2025年全州涉及阿片类药物的过量死亡为671人，较2024年的678人小幅下降，是连续第三年下降，并较2022年的高点1,039人明显回落。
报告数据显示，涉及芬太尼的死亡从2024年的602人降至2025年的564人，减少6%；非致命的阿片类过量住院从3,685例降至3,617例，下降约2%。州卫生厅长 Brooke Cunningham 表示，该州通过预防、纳洛酮（naloxone）、治疗、减害与康复服务的综合公共卫生办法，在预防致命阿片类过量方面继续取得进展，同时必须把经验用于应对可卡因与甲基苯丙胺等兴奋剂使用增加带来的健康影响。
不过，全部药物过量死亡不降反升：从2024年的994人升至2025年的1,025人，增加3%，主要由兴奋剂相关死亡上升推动。其中涉及精神兴奋剂（如甲基苯丙胺）的致命过量增加11%，涉及可卡因的致命过量增加6%；非致命兴奋剂过量住院增加11%，从1,047例升至1,162例，其中涉及甲基苯丙胺的增加17%（427例升至499例）、涉及可卡因的增加7%（352例升至376例）。2025年，每有1名明尼苏达州居民死于药物过量，就有14人在医院接受救治并存活，全年医院就诊共14,614人次。
报告还指出，混合用药是明尼苏达州过量死亡的主要形态，自2020年以来占过量死亡的70%；同时涉及阿片类与兴奋剂的死亡从2019年的154人增至2025年的371人，超过翻倍。
作为阿片类预防工作的一部分，州卫生厅与明尼苏达州紧急医疗服务办公室（OEMS）已于10月1日推出全州过量应对系统 MN-OD-ALERTS，利用急救医疗服务数据近实时侦测过量激增、聚集与新型药物威胁；全州87个县中已有76个县为该警报系统提供了联络人。紧急医疗服务办公室主任 Dylan Ferguson 表示，急救人员往往最先看到社区的变化，该系统让公共卫生与社区伙伴能更早行动。州卫生厅同时提醒居民，可拨打988明尼苏达生命线（988 Minnesota Lifeline）获得与心理健康、酒精或药物使用有关的免费支持。
Minnesota Opioid Overdose Deaths Fall for a Third Straight Year: 671 in 2025, Fentanyl Deaths Down 6%
St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota: The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) on October 27 released its Statewide Trends in Drug Overdose: 2025 Data Update, showing that opioid-involved overdose deaths in Minnesota fell slightly to 671 in 2025, down from 678 in 2024, the third straight year of decrease and well below the high of 1,039 recorded in 2022.
Fentanyl-involved deaths decreased 6%, from 602 in 2024 to 564 in 2025, and nonfatal opioid-involved overdose hospitalizations fell about 2%, from 3,685 to 3,617, according to the report. “We continue to see progress on preventing deadly opioid overdoses with our comprehensive public health approach involving prevention, naloxone, treatment, harm reduction and recovery services,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Brooke Cunningham, adding that the state must apply those learnings to the growing health impacts of stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine.
Overall drug overdose deaths, however, rose 3%, from 994 in 2024 to 1,025 in 2025, driven by an increase in stimulant-involved deaths. Fatal overdoses involving psychostimulants such as methamphetamine increased 11% and fatal overdoses involving cocaine increased 6%. Nonfatal stimulant-involved overdose hospitalizations rose 11%, from 1,047 to 1,162, including a 17% increase for methamphetamine (427 to 499) and a 7% increase for cocaine (352 to 376). For every Minnesotan who died of a drug overdose in 2025, 14 were treated in a Minnesota hospital and survived, for a total of 14,614 hospital visits.
The report also found that mixed drug use is the primary pattern in Minnesota overdose deaths, accounting for 70% of overdose deaths since 2020, and that deaths involving both opioids and stimulants more than doubled, from 154 in 2019 to 371 in 2025.
As part of the state's opioid prevention efforts, MDH and the Minnesota Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) on October 1 launched MN-OD-ALERTS, a statewide overdose response system that uses EMS data to detect spikes, clusters and novel drug threats in near real-time; 76 of Minnesota's 87 counties have provided a contact for the alert system. “Emergency medical services (EMS) providers are often the first to see when something is changing in a community,” said Dylan Ferguson, director of the Office of Emergency Medical Services. MDH also reminded residents that the 988 Minnesota Lifeline offers free support related to mental health, alcohol or drug use.
