Henderson County to fund first drug court with opioid settlement
Henderson County moves toward hearing cases in its first drug court using 16 million dollars from opioid settlements over 18 years. The plan funds diversion court work, prevention, early intervention, and recovery services amid overdose and foster care concerns. County officials note 84 percent of local overdose deaths involve opioids and seek multifaceted services including school education and social worker aid to reunite families.
