Commissioners authorize opioid settlement payments for recovery services and training
Summary
The board authorized $8,316 in AG settlement funds for nine Drug Treatment Court team members to attend a treatment‑court conference and approved $50,000 to Synchronicity Recovery Foundation for year‑round recovery support for residents affected by opioid use disorder.
The Carbon County Board of Commissioners on May 21 approved two allocations from attorney‑general settlement funds for drug treatment and recovery services.
The board authorized release of $8,316 in AG settlement dollars to fund attendance by nine members of the Carbon County Drug Treatment Court team at the Pennsylvania Treatment Court Professionals Conference hosted by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC), scheduled Oct. 7–9, 2026 in State College (agenda item #26‑371). The board also authorized payment of $50,000 to Synchronicity Recovery Foundation from AG settlement dollars to fund year‑round recovery support for county residents impacted by opioid use disorder and co‑occurring mental health conditions (agenda item #26‑372). Motions for both items were made by Nothstein, seconded by Ahner and carried unanimously.
The minutes describe the intended uses: conference attendance for professional training and recovery support programming; the record does not list a detailed scope of services for the $50,000 award beyond the statement that it will fund year‑round recovery support for residents. Both items were entered as formal approvals in the meeting minutes.
