Opiod treatment
U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn, announced on Thursday that states like Tennessee could get a boost in their fight against the opioid crisis in a bill the Senate Appropriations Committee has approved . "This bill provides $482.5 million for Department of Justice grants to help states like Tennessee tackle the opioid crisis. States could use these grants to help fund their drug courts, educational efforts, law enforcement programs, recovery programs and treatment programs," Alexander said. "The bill also provides $18 million for meth and heroin lab cleanup in Tennessee and across the nation and ensures law enforcement has the tools they need to fight crime." The senator said another important aspect of the bill is the continued investment on federal science research, including upgrades at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
