Opioid Remediation Settlement Advisory Committee

ONE PILL CAN KILL RESOURCES

Through funds provided from St. Louis County’s opioid settlement funds, Public Health has launched a 2-month Pill Safety Prevention Campaign. The focus of the campaign is to spread awareness about pill safety, with intentional awareness highlighting the alarming increase in lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine. Public Health’s goal with this campaign is to educate the public of the danger of counterfeit pills and the importance of only taking medications that are prescribed by a medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.

OPIOID REMEDIATION SETTLEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE INFORMATION

St. Louis County stands to receive approximately $18 million over the next 18 years as a result of national class action lawsuits against manufactures and distributors of pharmaceutical opioids. The settlement isn’t meant to compensate individuals who have suffered opioid-related harm; it’s meant to provide funding to state, local, and tribal governments to implement forward-looking programs regarding the epidemic.

For those seeking treatment or help from a Substance Use Disorder, find information though St. Louis County’s Adult Services -Substance Use and Recovery.

For more information on Public Health Education regarding Substance Use Prevention, find information through St. Louis County’s Community Health & Education.

To see local community health data on drug overdoses, see the Drug Overdose Data in St. Louis County, MN webpage.
