Federal government gives New Mexico agencies $1 million in new grants to fight opioid abuse

New Mexico has received more than $1 million in new federal grant money to help combat some of the nation's highest rates of opioid dependence and overdose - and much of it will go to Santa Fe County. U.S. congressional delegates from New Mexico announced in a news release Thursday that the U.S. Department of Justice awarded three grants to New Mexico agencies fighting substance abuse in the state.
