Smith County Opioid Settlement Fund Grant Program Application

Several years ago, Smith County joined many states and other local political subdivisions to bring litigation against multiple large pharmaceutical distributors, manufacturers and pharmacy chains. Several settlements have been reached with Smith County, and we have formulated a plan to disperse a portion of these funds.

There are multiple ways in which Smith County may utilize the funds, but early consensus of the Commissioners Court was to initially focus on providing treatment and recovery support services, such as residential and inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient therapy or counseling, and recovery housing that allows or integrates medication with other support services.

The grant program will be administered as a reimbursement program to ensure that all expenditures fit the opioid settlement requirements. We are asking all local organizations (must be in Smith County) that directly participate in the treatment and recovery support services listed above to make an application for Smith County Opioid Settlement Reimbursement Grant Funding by emailing Casey Murphy at Cmurphy@smith-county.com

Here is the application to apply for the reimbursement funds:
