(Worthy News) – An estimated 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in a recent, 12-month period, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.

Overdose deaths have been rising for more than two decades, accelerated in the past two years and increased nearly 30% in the latest one-year period, according to CBS News.
