Key Points

This bill would continue a federal program that helps pregnant women and new mothers get treatment for drug or alcohol addiction while living in a safe facility. By providing a place to live during treatment, the program helps mothers stay with their children while they recover.
The plan increases the yearly budget for these programs from about $30 million to nearly $39 million through the year 2029. This extra money is intended to help more women access specialized care during and after their pregnancies.
Treatment centers would be required to show a plan for how they will find and help women in communities that are hit hardest by drug use. This aims to make sure the most vulnerable families get the support they need to stay healthy and together.
The bill is supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. It focuses on improving health outcomes for both mothers and babies by addressing the specific needs of parents struggling with addiction.
