Overdose deaths dropped in Colorado in 2024, alongside the rest of the country, and the start of 2025 looked reasonably bright.<\/p>\n

Then March hit.<\/p>\n

Within Denver, 63 people died of overdoses that month, followed by 58 in April and 63 again in May \u2013 an average of two people per day, every day, for three months straight. March and May tied for the worst months for fatal overdoses on record in the city, and while experts point to changes in the drug supply as a likely culprit, no one can definitively say what happened.<\/p>\n

Most of the people who died had both fentanyl and methamphetamine in their systems, said Dr. Sterling McLaren, chief medical examiner for the city of Denver.<\/p>\n

Fatal overdoses also are up for the state as a whole, rising from 1,603 in 2024 to 1,813 in 2025, according to preliminary data from the Colorado Department of the Public Health and Environment.<\/p>\n

The increase came at a time when most of the country continued to see improvement. Preliminary data shows fatal overdoses went down 15% nationwide in 2025, with the most significant drops along the coasts, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

The biggest exceptions were New Mexico, where overdose deaths rose about 21%; Arizona, 17%; and Colorado, 13%. Other states with smaller increases included North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana.<\/p>\n

A chaotic supply<\/h4>\n

A shift in the form of fentanyl people use could has caused some of the overdoses, said Ally Arnaiz, overdose prevention and education program coordinator for the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. Since fentanyl showed up in Colorado, people generally took it by smoking counterfeit pills, colloquially known as \u201cblues,\u201d off a piece of foil. But powder, which is easier to inject, makes up an increasing share of the supply, she said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Without regular testing and surveys, no one can be sure if the drug supply has become more potent, or if people are using it in riskier ways, Arnaiz said. While people do overdose from smoking fentanyl, the chance is higher when injecting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re dealing with an illicit drug supply, one that does not have oversight,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fentanyl arrived in the Mountain West later than in the rest of the country, so the region might simply not be as far along the curve of reducing deaths, said Thomas Stopka, a professor of epidemiology at Tufts University School of Medicine. Other factors could include regional differences in the availability of naloxone and medication for opioid use disorder, he said.<\/p>\n

But data from seizures does show powder fentanyl making in-roads in the Southwest, Stopka said. Powders could be more potent, and are also easier to mix with other substances, such as meth, he said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe fake pills may have been more predictable, to a certain extent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dave Olesky, special agent in charge of the Rocky Mountain division for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, said the DEA also observed a shift from counterfeit pills to powder, but he sees that as a positive, since people who aren\u2019t experienced with drugs are more willing to take a pill than to smoke or inject something.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf somebody doesn\u2019t take a pill that doesn\u2019t come from the doctor, we are going to make so much progress against the fentanyl epidemic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While cases of teenagers taking what they thought were diverted pills do happen, Denver\u2019s 2025 data showed only 36 of the 674 people who died of drug-related causes were younger than 25, including six who were under 18. Statewide data by age isn\u2019t yet available.<\/p>\n

The purity of seized pills has gone down over time, though it still can vary significantly, Olesky said. People who are accustomed to a certain amount of fentanyl may be using more pills to get the desired effect, with some dying if they get a stronger-than-expected dose in the mix, he said.<\/p>\n

Lisa Raville, executive director of the Harm Reduction Action Center in Denver, isn\u2019t sure a shift in form is to blame. Powder fentanyl has been available to some degree for years, but with an unregulated market, people have no way of knowing if a batch is dramatically more potent than usual or contains additives that have their own risks, she said.<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania-based Center for Forensic Science Research and Education reported finding 134 relatively new substances across drug samples it tested in 2025. The sheer range of potential substances means that, even if someone uses a fentanyl test strip, they can\u2019t be certain about what they\u2019re taking or how they\u2019ll react.<\/p>\n

Providers and health departments on the East Coast generally identify new contaminants in the drug supply early on. Recent additives include xylazine, a veterinary drug that can cause severe flesh wounds when injected; medetomidine, another animal drug which causes a withdrawal syndrome that includes a potentially life-threatening spike in blood pressure; and more-potent synthetic opioids such as orphines, nitazenes and carfentanil.<\/p>\n

Most of the new chemicals showing up on the East Coast don\u2019t appear to be common in Denver at this point, Arnaiz said. Drug supplies are highly variable, so each local market needs data about potency and adulterants, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drug supply in Denver is very different from what you see in Grand Junction,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

While people died from heroin overdoses, long-term users generally had a fairly accurate picture of how much they could take, Arnaiz said. The arrival of fentanyl and other additives created a more chaotic supply, where dosing is a matter of guessing, but the fear of withdrawal pushes people to take the risk, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants to be dependent on a substance under these conditions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Drug seizures are up, for good or ill<\/h4>\n

Last year, seizures of both fentanyl and methamphetamine were up about 30% in Colorado compared to 2024, said Keith Weis, executive director of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, which offers training and coordination for law enforcement in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Montana. No one can know the amount of drugs available on the market, but generally, higher seizures point to greater demand, he said.<\/p>\n

The DEA had a record year for seizing fentanyl in the region, most of which starts with cartels in Mexico and moves up Interstate 25, Olesky said. One particularly notable bust was a storage unit in Douglas County holding 1.7 million counterfeit pills, plus enough powder to make about 6 million more, he said. A person not involved in the drug trade had purchased the unit\u2019s contents without seeing them after the previous owner got arrested and stopped paying rent.<\/p>\n

Olesky described the seizures as a major success: each pill taken off the street is no longer available for someone to misuse. But recent studies in San Francisco and Indianapolis found short-term increases in overdoses following police drug seizures.<\/p>\n

When someone\u2019s usual seller gets arrested or doesn\u2019t have product available, they find another source, which may be more potent or mixed with other substances, Stopka said. Increased law enforcement activity in an area can also make people reluctant to seek treatment or harm reduction services, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen drug seizures happen, that leads to more uncertainty in the drug supply,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

How to reduce deaths?<\/h4>\n

So far, overdose deaths don\u2019t appear to be surging in 2026, though the data is incomplete because toxicology testing can take weeks or months.<\/p>\n

Olesky said he doesn\u2019t think Colorado will make real progress until it provides more drug education and sends a message that substance use isn\u2019t acceptable. The state also needs penalties for drug trafficking that are severe enough to dissuade criminals, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you see the same things happening, the criminals are not being deterred,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Colorado increased penalties for fentanyl possession in 2022 and created the category of fentanyl distribution causing death for people who sell someone a mixture containing fentanyl, resulting in a fatal overdose. Raville believes the law has made people using drugs together less likely to call for help if someone has an overdose.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people who use drugs are low-level sellers\u201d who could face a lengthy prison term if they call for help, she said.<\/p>\n

The city has promised that it will start distributing drug-checking machines to harm-reduction groups later this year, Raville said. Unlike fentanyl test strips, which can only detect one substance, the machines will be able to give a more holistic, real-time view of the supply, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be more nimble in understanding what\u2019s in the drug supply today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Under the checking program, people will share a small portion of the drugs they intend to consume, Arnaiz said. Even if people still decide to use them after concerning results, they\u2019ll still contribute to keeping others safe, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who use drugs, despite the perception of the general community, really care about their health and the health of the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Denver has invested in connecting people to health care and harm reduction efforts, such as offering clean needles and naloxone, Arnaiz said. Ideally, it would be able to use funds more creatively, such as offering small rewards to people who are trying to quit stimulants \u2013 a method known as contingency management.<\/p>\n

People get scared when they see public drug use, and compassion is running short, Arnaiz said. But relationships, along with naloxone, are some of the best tools to prevent more deaths, she said.<\/p>\n

Raville would like to see the city set up sites where people can use the drugs they\u2019ve purchased under supervision, meaning someone would be there to intervene if they start to overdose. But ultimately, she thinks the only thing to really stem the deaths would be a safer supply, such as medical-grade fentanyl patches and prescription amphetamines as alternatives to illicit opioids and meth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlcohol isn\u2019t legal because it\u2019s safer. It\u2019s safer because it\u2019s legal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
