There has been an almost 11,000 percent increase in fentanyl seizures in Montana since 2019, according to the state’s attorney general.

In 2022, the Rocky Mountain High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (RMHIDTA)—a federal program that consists of 30 counties altogether in Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming—confiscated 206,955 dosage units of fentanyl in The Treasure State, a 10,800 percent increase since 2019, when 1,900 dosage units of the drug were seized.
