A federal bankruptcy judge approved a multibillion-dollar settlement with Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family on Tuesday, and New Hampshire will receive $30 million spread over 10 years to help fight the opioid crisis — the funds will support prevention programs at local organizations like The Upper Room in Derry.
