Opioid abatement efforts continue in Oklahoma

Efforts toward opioid abatement continue in the state of Oklahoma.

A grant to do that is sending just over $2 million into the northeastern corner of the state.

That follows over $16 million being sent to communities and 16 school districts statewide to address the opioid crisis.

Delaware County is getting almost a quarter million dollars, Mayes County $450,000 and the City of Miami $180,000 as a part of ongoing efforts.

Those funds support treatment programs, opioid abuse education, health assistance and other efforts to reduce the availability of narcotics in Oklahoma.
