Opioid Settlement Fund Investments
In 2021 and 2022, states and localities reached historic settlements with manufacturers and distributors of opioids, as well as pharmacy chains and a consulting firm, for their roles in the opioid epidemic. The settlement funds were designed to promote the long-term goals of:
- Reducing fatal overdoses
- Reducing the harms from opioid use disorder.
As a result of these settlements, Allegheny County will receive annual payments in varying amounts through at least 2038. To date, Allegheny County has received two payments in 2022 totaling $8.4M, and a third payment in 2023 totaling $6.05M.
