Opioid Remediation Settlement Advisory Committee

OPIOID REMEDIATION SETTLEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE INFORMATION

St. Louis County stands to receive approximately $18 million over the next 18 years as a result of national class action lawsuits against manufactures and distributors of pharmaceutical opioids. The settlement isn’t meant to compensate individuals who have suffered opioid-related harm; it’s meant to provide funding to state, local, and tribal governments to implement forward-looking programs regarding the epidemic.

For those seeking treatment or help from a Substance Use Disorder, find information though St. Louis County’s Adult Services -Substance Use and Recovery.

For more information on Public Health Education regarding Substance Use Prevention, find information through St. Louis County’s Community Health & Education.

To see local community health data on drug overdoses, see the Drug Overdose Data in St. Louis County, MN webpage.
