Denver Health has responded to an increase in fentanyl overdoses by expanding its 24/7 methadone treatment program and changing the way medical staff use medications to treat patients.
There have been 187 fatal fentanyl overdoses in the first eight months of 2023, compared to last year’s total of 244.
Simpson said not only is the hospital seeing more patients, but half of those patients are struggling with both fentanyl and methamphetamine-use. Denver Health started its "no wrong door" approach to provide easier access to treatment. Under the policy, those in need can go to any Denver Health clinic, medical provider or emergency facility in order to be connected to treatment and recovery services.
