New York is taking another step in its fight against the opioid crisis after reaching a deal with the controversial company that makes oxycodone.
New York is one of 15 states that reached a deal with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, the makers of the prescription painkiller OxyContin, over their role in fueling the nation s opioid epidemic.
The company and its executives are accused of misleading the public and doctors about just how addictive their drug really is.
New York is expected to get more than $200 million for drug treatment, prevention and recovery as part of a larger nationwide $4.5 billion settlement.
