Opioid crisis in Adair County

By Mary Bardin

Attorney General Daniel Cameron won a lawsuit against drug companies such as Mckesson that manufactures Opioids. The amount won for Kentucky was $483 million dollars. The Commonwealth will likely keep 1/2 of this with the rest being divided among counties.

Kentucky's Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission is tasked with overseeing the state's allotment, which plans to set up an application process so abatement programs can request funding.

I would hope this money will go to fund substance abuse programs, programs for inmates incarcerated in our local jails and address mental health issues of the inmates.
