Opioid settlements from drugmakers and major pharmaceutical distributors will provide funding for treatment, recovery, prevention, and harm reduction in Idaho.
Strategies eligible for subgrant funding must align with the approved opioid abatement strategies found on the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Idaho’s website.

Although the application is open to all organizations working to combat the opioid crisis within Region 7, priority will be given to non-profit organizations, local governments, first responders, schools, and healthcare providers.
