### [Michigan could see over $100 million in opioid settlement money this year](https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/michigan-100-million-opioid-settlement-money/)

"Some of the most important spending has been increasing naloxone distribution; that's the overdose reversal medication," **said Jonathan Soltman, the director of the Opioid Policy Institute.** "Trying to target high-risk communities and make sure that we get more of that medication in the hands of people that need it most. We're starting to see some of the success from that."

In the years since the opioid settlement, money has begun flowing into Michigan. Advocates say that money has been used for a wide range of resources and services. That includes increasing Naloxone access and creating new services like the city of Detroit's 24-hour rapid response team. Advocates say they're pleased with many of the ways the funding has been used — but there's still room for improvement.
