Gov. Bill Lee formally opened the Northeast Tennessee Regional Recovery Center in Roan Mountain on Wednesday, saying it should be "a model for what could happen in other communities across the state,” reports WCYB News.

The new facility was funded by a multi-million-dollar settlement of a 2017 lawsuit filed by Branstetter, Stranch and Jennings against pharmaceutical companies under the Tennessee Drug Dealer Liability Act.
