The Commonwealth of Virginia has settled a lawsuit with prescription Opioid manufacturers and distributors. The City of Virginia Beach agreed to participate in these settlements, which resulted in funds being made available to the City to address the ongoing epidemic.
In order to meet the needs of our community, the Department is holding a series of listening sessions to ensure we are delivering a community-driven and inclusive approach in the treatment options available in Virginia Beach.
