Okla. unveils $17.5 billion abatement plan during state opioid trial

The state of Oklahoma unveiled on Friday a 30-year plan to abate Oklahoma's opioid epidemic that would carry a price tag of more than $17.5 billion.
The detailed abatement plan was slowly revealed during Day 19 of testimony in a trial in Cleveland County District Court, where Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has accused Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries of creating a public nuisance that helped cause the opioid crisis.
The state has accused the opioid manufacturer of false and deceptive marketing that downplayed the risks of opioid painkillers while overstating their benefits.
From 2000-2017, more than 6,100 people died in Oklahoma from prescription opioid use, officials say.
