Editorial: Overdose deaths are down in Virginia, but more work remains

A container of Narcan, a brand name version of the opioid overdose-reversal drug naloxone, sits on a table following a demonstration at the Health and Human Services Humphrey Building on Sept. 8, 2023, in Washington. The number of U.S. fatal overdoses fell in 2023 for only the second time since the current national epidemic of drug deaths began more than three decades ago. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the numbers on May 15. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File)
