Self-poisoning is one of the most frequent methods of suicide. Deliberate self-poisoning is one of the main methods of attempted suicide. Due to its non-violent nature, it is common to survive self-poisoning.

For example, in the United States, about 20% of suicides involve poisoning as a primary method, and nearly 70% of those who die by suicide ingest a substance before death. Self-poisoning suicides have increased in the U.S. since the 1990s, which coincides with the growing number of opioid prescriptions issued since then.
