2h agoNew York State Attorney General Letitia James announced a major effort to combat the opioid crisis on Long Island.
James announced that Long Island is getting $46.9 million to fund treatment, education and prevention programs.
"These funds will go a long way in supporting those who need it most and the counties who have been affected by the crisis," James says.
She says Nassau County will be getting $20 million in 2022 and Suffolk County will be getting $26 million with more to come in the future.
The money is coming from opioid settlements with Big Pharma.
New York State has collected $1.5 billion in opioid court settlements.
