 percent of those deaths were attributed to illicitly manufactured fentanyl, which often comes in the form of pills that closely resemble prescription oxycodone or benzodiazepines such as Xanax.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“Rising opioid overdose deaths are a public health crisis, and schools are the heart of Oregon communities. Unfortunately, this trend is expected to continue, as Oregon has continued
 to see an increase in accidental overdose deaths due to fentanyl,” said OHA Director Patrick Allen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
