Opioid settlement funds for MOST team and addiction treatment
Summary
Reno is sitting on opioid settlement money and council wants to know if $780,000 of it can fund the MOST crisis-response team — clinicians who ride with police on behavioral health calls — and $50,000 for treatment at The Empowerment Center. The catch: settlement dollars have strict rules on what they can pay for, so staff will first check what's eligible.
