States could get federal grants to expand opioid addiction treatment for uninsured and underinsured people.

This bill would let states apply for federal money to help people struggling with opioid addiction. It would specifically help those who don't have health insurance or whose insurance makes it hard to get treatment. The goal is to make sure more people can get proper, evidence-based care for up to 60 days.

What Would Change

Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program for states to expand opioid addiction treatment for uninsured or underinsured individuals with these exact rules. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would be able to offer grants to states for this purpose, making it easier for eligible individuals to get up to 60 consecutive days of evidence-based treatment.

Key Provisions

Requires treatment services to be evidence-based, such as medication-assisted treatment.
