This action by the NJ Senate must be reversed. #Medicaid is the largest payor of opioid prevention, recovery, and treatment services but those funds are not enough. This action double downs on the harms.

That’s not how the opioid settlement funds work and this is bypassing the role of the Advisory Council. I am a former member and allocation of the funding underwent an extensive vetting process that incorporated the input of community, advocates, and health professionals. #harmreduction
