Suicide: Suicidal thoughts are a common consequence of heavy drug use. People may become suicidal due to the effects of drugs, or as a result of how their substance abuse has affected their lives. If a person feels unable to seek help or see a way out of their personal crisis, a person who is struggling with addiction may take their own life. I have written a lot over the years about suicide prevention (it is how Rob died), depression (which he had, chronically) and addiction, and, while we have moved the needle in terms of how we understand and talk about mental health, I don’t know how much we have progressed when it comes to addiction. We still ask: why them and not me? Why can’t they just do what I do? Instead of thinking: what is this formidable thing that will compel a person to do something that damages them, to the point where they may lose everyone in their life who loves them? The Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not have access to post-mortem reports or toxicology results, so the accuracy of figures depends on the information provided by the coroner on the death certificate; because of incomplete information, figures for drug misuse and for specific substances are underestimates.Losing a loved one to addiction can, for some, also become a call-to-action. Many people involved in drug abuse prevention coalitions, alliances, and organizations are those who have personally been affected by drug and alcohol use. Most of these deaths are the result of opioid overdoses. Opioid deaths have risen steeply in recent years – most notably in the United States. Additionally, many states and cities have developed specialized task forces to determine how health departments can best target their resources to help individuals and families living with addiction.

Deaths classified as a drug poisoning must have an applicable International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code assigned as the underlying cause of death; this is determined by international coding rules from the condition or conditions reported by the certifier, as recorded on the certificate. Further information on the definition can be found in Section 10.
