Show full summary
  • Families and people with substance use disorders: Would see expanded local options for prevention, treatment, and recovery services in rural areas, including services for opioid use disorder.
  • Rural health providers and local organizations: Could receive grants or cooperative agreements for planning, technical assistance, evaluation, and delivery models; awards may run for up to 5 years and can be fully funded at the time of award.
  • Tribal governments, state rural health offices, and states: Are explicitly eligible to apply for grants and cooperative agreements to coordinate services and respond to emerging local public health needs.

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.
