Why it matters
The opioid settlement provides substantial funding to Mississippi organizations to support services beyond addiction treatment, such as stable housing and employment for people in recovery. This funding is derived from settlements with opioid manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, pharmacies, and marketers.
