Opioid Settlement Fund
Buncombe County is set to receive $16 million over a period of 18 years through the Opioid Litigation Settlement. Communities can use these dollars to help attain outcomes for residents through treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and other life-saving programs and services. Pharmaceutical companies have also agreed to certain steps that limit the distribution and sale of opioids.
