The opioid crisis continues to be one of the most pressing public heath issues facing communities. For many, the sense of isolation COVID-19 caused may have increased anxiety and made recovery more difficult to begin or maintain. However, across the state, counties have continued to implement innovative prevention and treatment programs, with the support of State funding and technical support.
