Opioid Addiction Treatment Support for Uninsured Individuals

This act aims to expand access to opioid addiction treatment for individuals who lack health insurance or whose insurance does not cover such services. Through grants to states, more people will be able to receive necessary help, potentially improving their health and reducing addiction-related issues.
Key points
States will receive funds to expand access to opioid addiction treatment, including medication-assisted treatment.
Assistance will target individuals without health insurance or with insurance that does not cover addiction treatment.
Treatment will be evidence-based and physician-recommended, but funding will not exceed 60 consecutive days of treatment per individual.
The act requires states to report treatment outcomes, such as decreased substance use and improved retention in care.
