Follow the Money: Stories from Our Partners

In January The Granite State News Collaborative — a collective of  17 media and educational organizations from across New Hampshire — launched its Granite Solutions project. The goal was to take a look at the dual challenge of our statewide opioid crisis and its relationship to treatment of mental health issues. Working together as a team we have produced a series of multimedia story packages that do more than explore the problems; our aim is toward solutions. How? By working collaboratively to inform and engage you.  

We present the final installment off our Granite Solutions project: Follow the Money. In part 1, we examined the $64.5 million statewide Doorway system of referral and treatment for opioid addiction. We also focused on how the money’s been spent, what outcomes have been measured, and what’s next as the state considers how it will spend the second year of grant funding. In part 2, we looked at Safe Station and whether it has potential to expand into a statewide solution. We also heard from folks in recovery about what it’s like to use these systems.  

We also present these stories from our partners:
