The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs has awarded Nevada $333 billion to combat abuse and effectively respond to opioid-related overdoses.
U.S. Attorney Nicholas A. Trutanich for the District of Nevada stated that they are thankful for the additional resources to address the opioid crisis within their communities.
Grants will likely go toward emergency services, and other funds will likely be directed toward youth programs, research labs, and opioid-related research.
