Good news for cities of Nevada, including Spring Valley: state and local governments are planning out the use of settlement money from a 2017 suit against opioid manufacturers, and they’re putting it to good use. They will be expanding opioid treatment and addiction prevention services throughout the state.
In early 2023, the state Attorney General announced that Nevada would receive $285.2 million from big pharma companies and distributors for their role in creating the opioid crisis. The money is now being distributed to cities and counties, with the only stipulation being that the funds must be spent on addiction treatment services.
