Encouraging drop in opioid overdose deaths. Here are three things to know. The CDC reported a significant decrease in opioid overdose deaths across the U.S., after years of grim statistics. South Carolina also saw a decrease, in line with the national trend. CDC data show the state's drop began in late 2023 and continued into 2024. Medication-assisted treatment combines medical science with personalized, compassionate care. Medicines like Suboxone, Brixadi, Sublocade and Vivitrol help stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings and block the euphoric effects of opioids. That lets people focus on rebuilding their lives without the constant struggle of withdrawal. Medicine is only part of care. At Hope Integrative Medicine, medication is paired with counseling, therapy and a strong support network. Treatment begins with an in-person assessment at our West Ashley office, then continues with weekly in-person or virtual visits. Talk with your provider about what fits you.
