The full share of funding for North Carolina will be unlocked once a critical threshold of local government sign-ons is achieved, allowing access to funds for addiction treatment.

Pennsylvania could receive up to $200 million over 15 years, contingent on municipal participation, to support prevention, treatment, and recovery programs.

Key states involved in negotiating this settlement include California, Texas, and Connecticut, among others, highlighting a broad coalition against the opioid epidemic.

Despite the settlement, the Sackler family has maintained their innocence, asserting they have committed no crimes related to the opioid crisis.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson criticized Purdue Pharma for misleading doctors about the addictive nature of opioids, which has exacerbated the ongoing crisis.

Attorney General Jackson advocates for local governments to sign on to the settlement, emphasizing the need for accountability and funding to address the epidemic.

Nevada's Attorney General Ford expressed satisfaction with the financial support from the settlement, underscoring the importance of holding accountable those responsible for the opioid crisis.

Attorneys representing plaintiffs in the opioid litigation have expressed satisfaction with the deal, noting its potential to provide crucial funds to communities affected by the crisis.

The initial payment will include $1.5 billion from the Sacklers and about $900 million from Purdue, with additional payments totaling $1.4 billion scheduled over the next three years.

However, local governments in North Carolina must agree to the litigation, and the settlement's final approval is contingent upon a judge's ruling.

Fifty-five attorneys general have reached a significant $7.4 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, addressing their involvement in the opioid crisis.

North Carolina is set to receive nearly $1.6 billion from this settlement, with local governments in the state collectively obtaining $1.3 billion to combat addiction.
