Opioid Settlement Funds

Opioid Settlement Funds

The Northern Virginia Opioid Response Network and DBHDS Region 2 Community Service Boards are seeking input on potential uses of opioid settlement funds. These funds are the result of national settlements with prescription opioid manufacturers, distributors and other entities; funds can be used in numerous ways to address the impact of the opioid epidemic. In Northern Virginia, one project under consideration would expand regional substance use treatment service capacity for youth. The following questions seek your feedback on that concept as well as other potential regional projects. You will not be asked to provide any personal information in this survey.

The Northern Virginia Opioid Response Network includes: Arlington County (Arlington Addiction Recovery Initiative), City of Alexandria (Opioid Work Group), Fairfax County (Opioid and Substance Use Task Force), Loudoun County, Prince William County and the City of Manassas Park.
