The Town of Andover is projected to receive an average of $154,000 annually from opioid settlement agreements through 2039. By completing a brief online survey, you can help guide how these funds are used to support addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery initiatives in our community.
The Town of Andover is entitled to these opioid settlement funds as a result of lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for their role in the opioid crisis. Opioids include both prescription medications, such as OxyContin and Percocet, and illegal substances like heroin and fentanyl. While these drugs can be effective for pain relief, they are highly addictive and carry a significant risk of overdose and death.
