WISCONSIN - The number of Opioid deaths in Wisconsin have declined.   The Wisconsin Policy Forum says the number of deaths dropped from around 1500 to 500 deaths last year. The biggest reason for the decrease is people in jail now have access to opioid medication.  Many deaths have been due to people overdosing after being released from jail. Incarcerated people without access to opioids often experience a decrease in tolerance, leaving them at greater risk of overdosing when released.  Despite the decrease, more people in Wisconsin die from opioid overdoses than in motor vehicle crashes.
