Utah's Opioid Settlement Shows the Urgent Need for Proven Treatment Options
With over half a billion dollars secured in opioid settlement funds, Utah is confronting the damage caused by decades of opioid misuse and overprescription. At a recent virtual task force meeting, officials acknowledged both the progress made and the long road ahead. Despite a drop in prescription opioid deaths since their peak in 2014, fentanyl and synthetic opioids continue to devastate communities. The state has received $81 million so far, with a plan to spend $543 million over the next 15 years on prevention, recovery, and treatment.
One message from the task force was clear: we need effective, evidence-based solutions now. Resources must go directly to the people impacted by addiction—not just to agencies. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is one of the most effective tools available today, but access remains limited for many.
