Congressman Rodney Davis recently weighed in on the Trump Administration's $29-million grant to help fight the opioid epidemic in Illinois.

Congressman Davis says this will help expand treatment opportunities and reduce addiction. He credits the bipartisan work done by lawmakers.

Many may believe most of the $29-million will end up in Chicago and Cook County but Davis says it is going to be dispersed evenly. He points out the epidemic is not just in urban American.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 1.27 million Americans are now receiving medication-assisted treatment, out of around 2-million Americans with opioid addiction.
