Connecticut's Progress — and What's Still Left to Do
Connecticut has turned a corner. The state recorded 982 overdose deaths in 2024 — a 26% decline from 2023 and the third consecutive year of improvement, the lowest total since 2016.
That kind of sustained progress reflects real commitment at the community and policy level, and it matters.
But progress and access are two different things. Even as overall numbers trend downward, pockets of the state — New London County saw an uptick in drug fatalities in 2024 after two years of declines — remind us that the crisis isn't resolved evenly.
Real Recovery, Built for Real Life
Fentanyl remains involved in roughly 78% of fatalities. And for every person who died, there are many more still fighting quietly, without support, because the treatment available to them doesn't fit the life they're living.
That's the gap Pathfinder fills. Virtual addiction treatment in Connecticut that meets people where they actually are. Because life doesn’t stop for recovery.
