2026 Grants

2026 Morgan County – Mooresville Opioid Settlement Grants

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of opioid-involved deaths increased substantially from 1999 to 2023, but 2023 marked the first annual decline since 2018. Nationally, approximately 105,000 people died from drug overdose in 2023 and nearly 80,000 of those deaths involved opioids (about 76%). The number of people who died from an opioid overdose in 2023 was nearly 10 times the number in 1999; however, the opioid overdose death rate declined 4% from 2022 to 2023. Deaths involving various types of opioids are declining at different rates.

According to the Indiana Attorney General’s Office, in 2012 alone, there were 112 opioid prescriptions for every 100 Indiana residents. The State of Indiana has reached multiple settlements with major pharmaceutical companies, distributors and related firms as part of the State’s ongoing commitment to accountability in addressing substance use. The settlements will provide Indiana with more than $1 billion over an 18-year period.
