Around 2,000 North Carolina residents die every year from opioids. Attorney General Josh Stein announced he has reached a $573 million multi-state settlement with one of the world’s largest consulting firms, McKinsey & Company, resolving investigations into the company’s role in advising opioid companies how to promote their drugs and profit from the opioid epidemic.
Representatives from his office said Stein, who has made confronting the opioid epidemic one of his top priorities, played a lead role in negotiating the bipartisan settlement with a coalition of 53 attorneys general from around the country.
This is multi-state settlement, so each state will receive varied portions of the money. Stein said North Carolina will receive approximately $19 million. The money will go toward the continued battle against addiction. For example, some funds will go to rehabilitation facilities.
