Manitowoc County has been named one of 25 agencies in the state to receive a portion of $8 million from the Department of Health Services.
Between now and September, the grants will be issued to the various counties and tribal nations for opioid and stimulant treatment services.
Manitowoc County will be getting $731,590 in grants, second most behind Milwaukee County.
DHS split the money based on the level of need for treatment services and the treatment services to be provided by each tribal nation and county.
These grant awards are funded by Wisconsin’s nearly $34 million share of the latest installment of the two-year State Opioid Response Grant Program through the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
