Adams County Opioid Abatement Grant

A Letter from the Adams County Opioid Council

The Opioid Crisis has ravaged the Adams County community, and our country, for too long. Over the last 5 years, Adams County community members have accounted for 1 in 8 opioid related overdose deaths in Colorado. Fentanyl is the number one cause of opioid-related overdose deaths in our county, and as a state and region we do not have the treatment capacity that is needed. We cannot wait any longer to address this crisis in a significant way. 

To this end, we, the Adams County Opioid Council, are proud to announce the application for the first round of funds from the Opioid Litigation Settlement is now open!  

It is our intent that these dollars be used to improve outcomes related to the opioid crisis for community members in Adams County. To that end, we look at data, community insights, and other information through our Interactive Data Dashboard to not only understand what’s currently happening in the region related to the opioid crisis, how the community is being impacted at all levels, but also to track progress and the impact of the regional work underway to address it.

We are committed to following a RFP process that departs from “business as usual” by not only being data driven, but also by fostering synergy and collaboration between interested organizations as well as innovation. 

We are interested in proposals that are demonstrated to be informed by nationally recognized outcomes, best practices or are supported by research. That being said, we also recognize that our community deserves innovative ideas and approaches to address the opioid crisis. We encourage you to bring innovative solutions forward with the spirit of being outcomes focused and tracking data to assess the impact of these projects.
