ALABAMA OPIOID All expenditures of opioid abatement funds must be consistent with the approved uses on this list. Generally speaking, the approved uses are geared towards three broad purposes: education, prevention, and treatment. Moreover, the funds can only be spent to cover future costs of abating the opioid crisis, meaning they can only be spent on opioid-specific costs incurred in the future. Abatement funds cannot be spent for any other purpose, including purposes that address other substance-related problems, like addiction to other drugs.
