Fulton County approves $160,000 opioid-settlement plan to add a recovery specialist
Summary
Fulton County commissioners unanimously approved a $160,000 plan to use opioid settlement funds to hire an additional Certified Recovery Specialist for the Fulton County Family Partnership Team, expanding county recovery services.
Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously Dec. 16 to use $160,000 in opioid settlement funds to add another Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) to the Fulton County Family Partnership Team.
The plan, presented by Executive Development Director Julie Dovey and approved on a motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann, directs county opioid-settlement resources toward expanding CRS services to support people and families affected by substance use disorders. The county previously listed $46,105.21 in Fund 276 (Opioid Settlement Funds) among approved payables for the day.
County officials said the addition is intended to expand certified recovery-support services; the meeting minutes do not specify hiring timeline, reporting lines, or whether the new CRS position will be full-time or part-time. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioners Randy H. Bunch, Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann recorded as all in favor.
The next procedural step recorded in the minutes is the formal approval of the plan at the meeting; the minutes do not include a staff report with implementation dates or budget line-item details beyond the $160,000 allocation.
