Weld County Regional Opioid Council

The Weld County Regional Opioid Council is tasked with determining how to spend $8.8 million in funds allocated to the county over the next 18 years from the Colorado Attorney General Office's participation in a national opioid settlement that yielded the state $520 million in opioid settlement dollars. Proceeds from the settlements include:

• $385 million from Johnson & Johnson and three major drug distributors;
• At least $50 million from Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers;
• $60 million from Teva/Allergan;
• $18 million from Mallinckrodt; and
• $10 million from McKinsey & Company.

The Weld County Regional Opioid Council will direct its funding at three key areas: opioid use prevention, treatment, and education.
