Colorado Decides How to Spend Its $400 Million Opioid Settlement
Colorado’s counties have agreed on how to divide the nearly $400 million in opioid settlement money that will fund addiction treatment, recovery and prevention programs.
As of Nov. 5, each of the state’s 64 counties had signed an agreement on where the money will go.
Suggested uses for the money touch all aspects of addiction, whether it’s funding for the overdose reversal medication naloxone, helping people involved in the criminal legal system overcome addiction or providing services for children whose homes are impacted by opioid use.
