Commissioners extend opioid-abatement contract with Family & Children Services through June 2028
Summary
Rogers County approved an addendum extending a grant-management contract with Family & Children Services to continue opioid-abatement programs through June 30, 2028, covering treatment, recovery, employment assistance and related services.
Rogers County commissioners voted to approve an addendum to the county's opioid-investment grant management contract with Family and Children Services that extends the contract term to June 30, 2028.
County staff described the addendum as an extension of the agency's role in administering a major portion of the county's opioid-abatement grant, including described services such as treatment and recovery programming, employment assistance and a medication-assistance liaison. Staff said the grant program's guidelines changed and that the funding stream is anticipated to move to a three-year award structure; the contract extension aligns the county agreement with that timeline.
A county official noted a recent milestone: the first graduates from an in-jail program that began in March, which staff called a “life-changing” achievement. Commissioners voted to approve the addendum; the motion passed during the meeting.
