The Iowa AG Announces a $3.8 Million Opioid Treatment Program Supported by Settlement Funds
This (Wednesday) morning, Iowa Attorney General (AG), Tom Miller, outlined an agreement with University of Iowa (UI) Health Care on a statewide opioid treatment program supported by $3.8 million in settlement funds.
The multi-faceted approach to providing opioid treatment to Iowans has specialists conducting extensive outreach and training of physicians and other healthcare providers on how to treat opioid addiction using Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT). They will also provide consultation and treatment in complex addiction cases. “From the beginning of our efforts to hold opioid makers and others accountable, my goal has always been to help Iowans who are victims of the opioid epidemic,” Miller says.
