Baltimore sees more overdose deaths than any other U.S. city

Season 2024 Episode 228 | 7m 56s

More than 100,000 Americans are dying from drug overdoses every year, largely from the synthetic opioid fentanyl. But in recent years, no city has been hit as hard as Baltimore when it comes to overdose deaths. Special Correspondent Chris Booker examines why addiction has become so deadly in a city that has seen a steady decline in its population. It's part of our series, America Addicted.
