Omnibus bill includes changes to federal drug treatment programs

Under the spending bill, each state and the District of Columbia would"receive not less than" $4 million which can be used to support OTPs or other substance use disorder treatments. Native American tribal organizations will also be eligible for grants, according to Section 1003 of the bill.

The omnibus bill would also eliminate the requirement that patients have opioid use disorder for one year before being admitted to one of the programs. The change must be made within 18 months of the bill's enactment. " is really, really important because it allows people to get into services and allows them to get care without having to sort of run out a clock in order to qualify, and incur all the danger and risk of a fatal overdose that can happen while people are in the midst of an active opioid use disorder," said Dr. Ben Nordstrom, an addiction psychiatry specialist in New York City, and the chief medical officer at an OTP.

But nothing will be done about FENTANYLbeing smuggled across the southern border.

Maybe close the fentanyl border?

What portion?

After this bill kicks in, you think the price of gas will be $9.99 a gallon, loaf of bread $15,a head of lettuce $10 , Nah! This bill won't affect inflation it will lower all prices. Prices will be rolled back.

“A portion”

Pharma CO’s need to pay for this!!!!

Speak to your owner, Biden. He is the one allowing Fentanyl by the millions to be “imported”.

I bet that if these individuals would stop using drugs they stop dying?!...

Just beautiful

this is smart treat the symptoms not the cause. we should just spend a trillion dollars on border and costums plus revamp the DEA problem fixed

Also, make possession legal, pardon all non-violent drug offenders, and take the now free billions and fund treatment programs. Watch crime go down. Watch addiction go down. Even better, watch profits for the private prison complex crater.

Treatment definitely needs to become more available and affordable, along with MH treatment. Addiction usually has a coinciding diagnosis. Treat the problem and the root of the problem. Methadone clinics do help some, but for many, it becomes another addiction and “prison”.

This message has been approved for dissemination by the DNC…

Lets legalize Heroine and tax it.....maybe we can call it Methedone

What about the rest of the labs in Ukraine? Too little too late. Anthony Fauci and the Obama Administration should all be in prison for funding this. Goes all the way back to 2014 specifically. Probably just shifts it to another one somewhere else.
