The county was one of the first in the state to join a lawsuit against drug companies and distributors, the report said. Of the total, $19.2 million is slated for 2022, with 75 percent of it restricted for addiction and mental health services.
The money will fund nine existing addiction-focused county positions and add nine more, the report said. It will also support anti-addiction and drug treatment efforts.
An additional $6 million will be set aside to fund community-led efforts, the report said. Organizations will be able to submit proposals to combat opioid addiction and apply for funding.
