Current State Priorities for Opioid Settlements and Beyond

While each state faces unique challenges in distributing opioid settlement funding, they also share many common priorities for settlements and other statewide efforts to address the opioid and substance use crisis.

Why it matters: Opioid settlement funding provides a unique opportunity to address current gaps in the addiction care system as a whole.

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has provided a state tracker showing each approach for distribution of national opioid settlement funding, as well as information on state priorities for the opioid settlements.
