County staff outline programs funded by opioid settlements and status of allocations
Summary
Lancaster County’s Drug and Alcohol Commission presented a summary of opioid settlement funding, listed programs supported (Prevention Specialists, SAP liaisons, MAT, Neonatal Abstinence Coordinator, recovery scholarships and others), and described the Trust/Exhibit E framework; transcript did not include dollar-by-dollar allocation amounts.
Dan Makowski, prevention supervisor with the Drug and Alcohol Commission, provided an overview of the county’s Opioid Settlement Project, including background on national settlements (initial agreements in 2021, follow-on agreements in 2022) and Pennsylvania’s administrative structure through the Pennsylvania Opioid Misuse and Addiction Abatement Trust (the Trust) and Exhibit E, which provides a framework of priorities and approved abatement strategies.
Makowski listed county programs supported by settlement funds, including Prevention Specialists, Student Assistance Program (SAP) liaisons, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), a Neonatal Abstinence Coordinator, a Recovery House Scholarship Program, Pathways to Recovery, a Recovery Capital Program, and an Opioid Settlement Project Manager. He presented an allocation and a remaining-balance summary; the transcript does not give dollar amounts for the presented allocation or balance.
