Jasper County Opioid Settlement Funds
Jasper County Opioid Settlement Committee: Priorities and Goals for Implementation
As part of its implementation plan, the Jasper County Opioid Settlement Committee has identified the following funding priorities and goals. Funding will be awarded exclusively to nonprofit organizations with a physical office located in Jasper County.
Current Funding Priorities:
-
Opioid Substance Use Treatment: Support for treatment services for Jasper County residents, including individuals who are uninsured or involved in the justice system.
-
Substance Treatment Facility Expansion and Upgrades: Support for existing Jasper County-based nonprofit organizations providing inpatient or outpatient substance use treatment to expand or enhance their facilities.
-
Prevention Initiatives: Substance misuse prevention programs in Jasper County public schools, targeting children and youth.
Jasper County is committed to removing barriers to substance use treatment and ensuring accessible, high-quality care for all residents. The Jasper County Opioid Settlement Funds are being used to support a variety of evidence-based treatment and prevention programs through local nonprofit organizations.
If you or someone you know needs help, please contact resources in the Jasper County Resource Guide, or by calling 988.
