FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - More than $20 million in opioid settlement funds are being distributed to Hoosier communities, according to the Indiana Attorney General’s Office.

The funds stem from settlements with CVS, pharmaceutical distributors (McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen), Allergan, and Teva, which “allegedly contributed to the state’s opioid epidemic through irresponsible and/or unlawful actions,” the office says.

“These funds empower our communities to fight back against the devastating impact of opioid addiction,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “While no settlement can undo the harm caused, this money supports critical efforts to prevent future crises and provide meaningful support to Hoosiers in need.”
