Guardian UK: White House to commit $116m to heroin and opioid abuse epidemic - Obama administration will announce new measures centered on prevention and treatment, not crime-fighting, as part of wider roll-back of ‘war on drugs’
The White House is committing $116m to support treatment, with nine actions that include expanding access to care and drugs for combatting overdoses. It also proposed $7m in US justice department funding to increase community policing.

More $$ for the failed war on drugs.
It reads more like a way to send more money to police departments. I can't see how that amount of money spread out over the country would do anything. One can only hope that somehow a few lives are spared here by getting resources to the right people.
