Turn the Tide Act

The Turn the Tide Act (S 3663) authorizes billions of dollars in federal funding for substance use disorder treatment, prevention, and recovery programs from 2024-2027. It appropriates specific annual amounts for services including medication-assisted treatment ($506 million/year), first responder training ($56 million/year), residential treatment for pregnant women ($40 million/year), mental health services ($75 million/year), and opioid overdose reversal medications. The bill also removes insurance barriers to treatment, improves Medicaid payments for behavioral health services, and expands drug-free community programs. These measures directly affect state and local health agencies, healthcare providers, and individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders.
