State and local governments across Appalachia are allocating opioid-settlement dollars over the coming years. This funding opportunity can support lasting public health infrastructure or be spent on short-term programs anchored in the opioid crisis of the past. Evidence indicates that emerging synthetic drugs such as nitazenes and xylazine are altering overdose risk patterns in ways that require urgent policy attention.
阿巴拉契亚地区的州和地方政府在未来几年将分配阿片类药物和解资金。这个资金机会可以支持持久的公共卫生基础设施，也可以用于过去阿片类药物危机相关的短期项目。有证据表明，诸如硝氮烯和赛拉嗪等新兴合成药物正在改变过量用药风险模式，这需要政策给予紧急关注。
