Lenawee County Opioid Action Plan

Lenawee County has started to receive Opioid Settlement monies and will continue to do so until 2040.  In order to determine how these dollars should be allocated, we have developed the following timeline to assemble our plan for Lenawee County.

Lenawee Opioid Action Plan Vision Statement

To live in a community where everyone can live healthy, fulfilled lives not defined by substance use through trauma-informed care, education, and treatment.

As a community, understand that substance use can affect anyone and work to remove the stigma and break down barriers to recovery.   We must work to understand the systems in place that impact one’s initial decision to use and help educate youth, parents, and community members to prevent long-term substance use problems in the future.

To live in a world where everyone is supported with a multi-sector continuum of solutions designed to reduce opioid misuse and promote healthy, fulfilled lives.
