New ToxIC Publication: Comprehensive Toxicological Quantitation of Drugs Identified among Nonfatal Opioid and Stimulant OverdosesA new study published in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology reports findings from 995 patients with suspected opioid or stimulant overdose enrolled across 17 U.S. emergency departments through the ToxIC Drug Toxico-Surveillance (DOTS) Reporting Program. Blood specimens underwent comprehensive toxicological analysis at the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE), identifying 43 unique novel psychoactive substances, including several potent nitazene opioids. The study provides one of the first large-scale quantitative assessments of substances detected in nonfatal overdoses offering novel insight into the evolving overdose landscape.
