Pregnant women in federal prisons with opioid addiction would get treatment
Pregnant women in federal prisons with opioid addiction would be provided medication-assisted treatment. The bill would require the Bureau of Prisons to give this care, but a woman who is mentally able could still refuse it.
Currently, federal prisons are not explicitly required to provide medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction to all pregnant women in their care. If this bill becomes law, the Bureau of Prisons would be required to provide this treatment to every pregnant woman in its custody who is addicted to opioids. However, a woman who is mentally able could still refuse it.
