The Reno County Commission approved that the Reno County Department of Health applies for a $1 million grant for an Opioid Stimulant and Substance Use site-based program. The Department of Justice awards this three-year grant to help alleviate drug use issues in rural communities. If funded, the Reno County Health Department will support the work of an Overdose Fatality Review Board and the establishment of Medication Assisted Treatment in the Reno County Jail. These actions will support prevention efforts, individuals needing recovery support, and keeping individuals out of jail and out of the court system.
