Douglas County commissioners approved approximately $1.45 million in opioid settlement awards on Nov. 3, the county reported the next day. Five providers received allocations for the 2026–28 funding cycle following recommendations from the county’s Opioid Council.
The awards include $428,003 for 5280 High School, $411,905 for FullCircle Program and $199,963.42 for the Juvenile Assessment Center. From Silenced to Saved received $209,000, while Sky Ride LLC received $200,000 for transportation connected with court requirements and recovery needs.
The county described a competitive application process tied to local priorities and settlement restrictions. The allocations fund prevention, assessment, recovery support and access to services. Approval of these awards documents the funding decisions, rather than completed results for the programs.
