PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WCHS) — More than $8 million is heading to 24 addiction recovery programs in Kentucky as part of a $900 million opioid settlement.
As part of the settlement, Mountain Comprehensive Care Center is getting $250,000.
For nearly three months, Derek Young has been a client at Mountain Comprehensive Care Center. Eventually Derek will finish his treatment, and the facility wants to make sure he and others who are leaving treatment can function independently in the real world, so they are using a $250,000 grant from the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission to expand their transitional living program.
