Morris County Invests $400,000 in Opioid Battle: Programs Funded by Settlement

In a pivotal decision, the Morris County Board of County Commissioners has allocated $400,000, sourced from legal settlements with pharmaceutical companies implicated in the opioid crisis, to underpin five pivotal programs in 2024. These initiatives, driven by a blend of three non-profit organizations and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, are strategized to provide comprehensive support encompassing treatment, prevention, and other vital measures against opioid addiction. This financial endorsement was guided by the recommendations of the Morris County Opioid Advisory Council, an entity established within the year as a specialized task force of the Morris County Mental Health & Addiction Services Advisory Board. Their role was to gather insights and pinpoint the most impactful programs deserving of the opioid settlement funds. <a href="https://medium.com/@MorristownMinute/morris-county-invests-400-000-in-opioid-battle-programs-funded-by-settlement-2da01770c655">Click Here</a>
