Another round of opioid settlement funding is headed to Maryland.
More than $13 million from seven generic opioid manufacturers will bolster efforts to expand treatment, recovery, prevention, and harm reduction services.
According to a Baltimore Banner article, Maryland will receive more than $13 million from seven generic opioid manufacturers as part of a new nationwide settlement.
The settlements involve Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus, manufacturers of generic opioid medications including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl patches.
As front-line responders, they are using opioid settlement funds to expand prevention, treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and public safety initiatives tailored to local needs.
