San Francisco Recovers: City strategy targets street-level drug market to stop overdoses

A group of San Francisco supervisors has released an ambitious strategy to confront the city’s rise in fatal drug overdoses.

Labeled “San Francisco Recovers,” the resolution plans to use some of the $100 million the city earned in opioid litigation settlements over the past few years in a three-pronged approach — incentivizing and supporting those with substance-use disorders to seek recovery, ending street-level using and dealing and calling on 21 city departments to analyze their resources and obstacles to progress.
