Posted on: 10/4/2018

Great news from Washington! With your support, Congress took a historic step in the fight against the opioid epidemic yesterday. On Wednesday, Congress approved the comprehensive opioids response package, sending the bill to President Trump for his signature and enactment into law.

The package of more than 70 different pieces of legislation will: increase care coordination within the health care system; increase access to treatment by expanding coverage through Medicare and Medicaid; and increase practitioner utilization of telehealth strategies to remotely treat individuals affected by SUDs.
