Who We Are

The Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the “AG”) was part of a national lawsuit suing pharmaceutical companies over the opioid epidemic and each state was awarded Opioid Settlement Funds to deal with the opioid epidemic. The AG worked with local governments to develop regions in which the Opioid Settlement Funds would be disbursed each year. The guidelines for services that can be provided with the Opioid Settlement Funds come from the terms of the national settlement. There is a governing Board, called the Southeast Colorado Opioid Region (“SECOR”) which is the decision-maker over how the Opioid Settlement Funds will be distributed.
