What it does
The bill gives federal grants to states to pay for opioid addiction treatment. States must help people without health insurance get treatment. Treatment must be doctor-recommended and based on science. Each person can get up to 60 days of treatment. States must use 5% of the money to check if the program works.
Who it affects
Uninsured and underinsured people with opioid addiction get access to treatment. States receive grants to run the program. Doctors and treatment clinics provide the services.
One thing to notice
The bill limits each person to 60 days of treatment. After 60 days, people may need to find other ways to pay.
