Opioid Settlement Money Pays for Services To Battle Addiction in Rural Kentucky

Opioid settlement funds are being used to expand addiction services in rural Kentucky through The Hub, a harm reduction program offering recovery support and essential resources. The initiative, funded by Kentucky's share of a $57.8 billion national settlement, has grown to five counties and includes a new program for incarcerated women's reintegration. However, federal funding for such efforts is being cut under the Trump administration.
