	Description:		Drug overdose has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Fentanyl – a synthetic opioid mass produced in Mexico and smuggled across the border – drove the increasing number of fatalities ever higher. But there’s a good news story that hasn’t been widely reported… Drug-related deaths fell year on year from 2023 to 2024 by around 25%. In some states, the decline was even more dramatic - North Carolina was one of them. For Assignment, Linda Pressly visits the state capital of Raleigh to report on some of the reasons why fewer people are dying from illicit narcotics. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
