The addiction crisis continues to evolve rapidly The drug supply is growing increasingly unpredictable, with potent synthetic opioids and adulterants like xylazine and medetomidine contributing to overdose risk across populations.

Western New York remains profoundly affected. Erie County reported nearly 400 overdose deaths in 2023, making it the deadliest year on record, with nearly one person dying every day. While deaths began declining through 2024 and into 2025, nonfatal overdoses remain steady — and likely underreported — showing that risk remains high even amid slight improvements.

Host Allison Brashear, MD, MBA welcomes two experts in addiction and emergency medicine. They are Joshua J. Lynch, DO, a nationally recognized leader in emergency department-initiated medication-assisted treatment, and Brian Clemency, DO, professor of emergency medicine, an authority in EMS and prehospital care.
