The suicide rate includes only confirmed suicides, most common way in America is self inflicted gunshot. However this is because it excludes overdoses unless they leave a suicide note. If they don't leave a note those are classified as accidental death by the coroner.

Thanks for that information, it definitely restricts my concerns to motives for suicide, rather than accidental overdose.
