About the Opioid Settlement Funds

Indiana has been significantly impacted by the opioid epidemic, with prescription rates peaking in 2012 and lasting consequences for communities across the state. Through legal settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors, more than $925 million has been secured for Indiana.

Bartholomew County is investing a portion of these funds in programs that directly support prevention, treatment, recovery, and system improvements for residents affected by substance use disorder.

Applications must go through a review process with the Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress(ASAP) and the Substance Abuse Advisory and Accountability Committee(SAAAC) prior to recommendation for distribution of funds.
