Experts Say...

In 2022, Stephany Fiore from the Santa Cruz County Sheriff-Coroner's Office spoke about the rising drug problem in Santa Cruz County. "Over the years, the prescription drug use (resulting in overdose and death) has disappeared, and more of the illicit drugs have come to the forefront with methamphetamine reaching a peak in 2020," she said. She also said that fentanyl surged from mid-2020 to 2021. SafeRx Program Manager Rita Hewitt said, "Addiction does not discriminate. It affects the lives of most everyone in our community on a personal level, in one way or another."
