Office of Administration outlines approved uses for Price County opioid funds
Summary
The Office of Administration presented a nine-page 'Schedule B: Approved Uses' listing evidence-based treatment, recovery support, connections to care, justice-involved services, perinatal supports, prescribing safeguards, prevention and harm reduction as allowable uses of opioid settlement funds.
Nick Trimner, representing Price County's Office of Administration, presented a nine-page "Schedule B: Approved Uses" that lists eligible categories for the county's opioid settlement funds. The document emphasizes support for evidence-based treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), services for co-occurring substance use or mental health conditions, connections to care, and programs for criminal-justice-involved persons and perinatal families.
Trimner read key categories and asked committee members to collect ideas from their organizations for programs that fit the listed categories. "Support treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and any co-occurring Substance Use Disorder or Mental Health (SUD/MH) conditions through evidence-based or evidence-informed programs or strategies," Trimner said while summarizing the Schedule B document; the material is on file with the County.
