MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A new Wisconsin Department of Health Services grant program is rewarding the work done by local organizations.
Four organizations are each receiving one-time grants of $250,000 to provide services in their communities that prevent non-medical use of opioids.
Substance abuse prevention organizations in Dunn and Pierce counties, Kenosha County, the Forest County Potawatomi Community and Milwaukee’s Hispanic community are receiving the funding.
The DHS grants are funded by Wisconsin’s share of an opioid settlement.
