Authorizes grants to states for expanding access to opioid addiction treatment services.
The bill authorizes the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use to award grants to states for expanding access to clinically appropriate services for opioid abuse, dependence, or addiction. The services must be evidence-based, such as medication-assisted treatment, and provided according to a physician's recommendation. The grant will not be used to pay for more than 60 consecutive days of treatment for any individual. States must report on outcomes such as decreases in substance use and changes in retention in care.
