Fatal Overdose Reduction Act of 2025

The Fatal Overdose Reduction Act of 2025 establishes a Medicaid demonstration program to create "Health Engagement Hubs" that provide comprehensive, drop-in services for people with opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders. These hubs would offer harm reduction services, medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and social services like housing assistance and job training, with a focus on communities disproportionately impacted by overdose deaths. States would develop payment systems for these services, with up to 10 states selected to participate for 5 years, and would be required to report on outcomes like overdose rates and treatment access. The program would be funded through a $60 million planning grant and would require states to track demographic and health outcomes to assess effectiveness.
