Wood County Opioid Settlement
The Wood County Board of Supervisors requested the Opioid Task Force determine appropriate uses of Wood County Opioid Settlement funds for opioid abatement
purposes such as: enhancing substance use treatment; evaluating and implementing community-based prevention; increasing access to harm reduction resources; and
increasing implementation of best practices.
Seventy percent (70%) of Wisconsin’s opioid settlement funds are directly allocated to litigating local governments. Local governments must use all settlement funds
for approved uses consistent with applicable settlement agreements (e.g., the uses listed in Exhibit E.)
A Wood County Opioid Task Force was convened to put together a fair process for determining distribution of the Opioid Settlement Funds based on community need. The
Task Force includes members from:
- Wood County Health Department
- Wood County Human Services
- Wood County Sheriff's Department
- Three Bridges Recovery Wisconsin
- Family Health Center of Marshfield
- Wood County Criminal Justice Department
- Marshfield Area Coalition for Youth
- Wisconsin Department of Corrections
- Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Clinics
- Marshfield Clinic Health System
- Wisconsin Rapids Fire and Rescue
- Badgerland Youth for Christ
- Marshfield Police Department
