While there is broad interest in fighting the opioid crisis, bills that only request studies often struggle to move forward on their own unless they are added to a larger health care package.

Key Points

This bill requires a non-partisan government watchdog to conduct a massive study on the availability of addiction treatment across the country. It aims to find out exactly how many beds and programs are available for people struggling with opioid use.
The study will look for gaps in care for specific groups that often struggle to find help, including teenagers, pregnant women, and Native American communities. It also looks at geographic differences to see which parts of the country have the fewest resources.
Researchers will check if current programs are using treatments backed by science, such as FDA-approved medications. They will also look for ways to help local and state governments report drug overdoses faster so officials can respond to spikes in real-time.
The final report is due to Congress two years after the bill is signed into law. This information will be used to help lawmakers decide where to build new clinics or send more funding in the future.
