Expands access to methadone for opioid use disorder through pharmacies.
The Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 of 2026 aims to expand access to methadone for opioid use disorder through pharmacies. It amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow certain practitioners to prescribe methadone for unsupervised use. These practitioners must be registered with the Attorney General and comply with federal and state laws. The bill also allows for telemedicine in maintenance and detoxification treatments. The changes take effect 180 days after the enactment of the Act.
