More opioid treatment money for rural areas
This bill would create the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program at the Health Resources and Services Administration to expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services in areas the Secretary defines as rural. States, tribes, State offices of rural health, and other domestic groups could get grants or cooperative agreements to plan, build, or run services. Grants could run no more than five years and could be fully funded when awarded; money could not be used to buy or improve buildings. Applications would have to describe how the local rural population will help plan and run the work. The bill would authorize $165 million a year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, but Congress would still need to appropriate the money.
