WHAT: With today’s announcement, more funds are likely to become available to assist nationwide efforts in providing greater access to opioid intervention and treatment services, including telemedicine capabilities. Additionally, federal grants may be targeted to communities in greatest need, adding medication assisted therapy (MAT) sites and increasing Buprenorphine providers across the U.S. – two actions that may have a dramatic, positive impact on the crisis.
White House officials have said that they are working with Congress to find additional funding for the opioid crisis – which experts at the CDC and NIH say will cost tens of billions of dollars to properly address – but no exact figures are yet available.
WHEN: Ongoing.
