Stoughton Opioid Settlements
As a result of a number of opioid settlements, the Town of Stoughton is receiving money to address the ongoing impact of the opioid epidemic. The MA Attorney General’s Office and the MA Department of Public Health have put together a number of resources for communities receiving these dollars. Get more info HERE.
Stoughton passed 2 articles at Town Meeting in the Spring of 2023 to create a stabilization account for incoming opioid settlement dollars. To read the back up information submitted with the Town Meeting Warrant, click here.

The Prevention Department is seeking your input into the best local use for these dollars.
