Cherokee Nation fights Oklahoma's opioid crisis with new behavioral health center

Opioid manufacturers paid Cherokee Nation $75 million dollars in 2021 in a settlement for their role in the opioid crisis. The tribal nation is putting that money to use for their citizens in Northeast Oklahoma by opening a new addiction treatment and behavioral health center, which is set to break ground later this year.
