In 2021, opioid manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, along with three opioid distributors McKesson, Amerisource Bergen, and Cardinal Health, reached settlements for their roles in the opioid epidemic that amounted to $26 billion. It's estimated that California will receive approximately $2.05 billion over 18 years to focus on opioid abatement activities within the state. Lake County is set to receive a portion of California’s Abatement Fund and began receiving payments on November 15, 2022.
