Kentucky AG announces latest round of funding to groups battling the state’s drug abuse problem

A state commission has awarded nearly $14 million in the latest round of funding to groups serving “in the trenches” to combat Kentucky's drug abuse problem, Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Monday. It continues the flow of money to grassroots groups specializing in drug prevention, treatment and recovery services as Kentucky struggles to overcome the deadly scourge. The Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission is funneling the money to an array of programs — from small towns to the state’s largest cities.
