Many Minnesotans have suffered greatly because of the ongoing opioid epidemic. Minnesota is a part of many multi-state agreements with opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies to help address the part these companies played in creating this crisis. From these settlements Minnesota will be receiving about $535 million to be split between the counties, large cities, and the state to help our communities recover and thrive.
