A new federal bill, the Turn the Tide Act, was introduced in the U.S. House by Representatives Maggie Goodlander and Chris Pappas to expand substance use treatment, prevention, recovery housing, and naloxone access, with a companion measure in the Senate.

Overall, the bill seeks to boost treatment, prevention, and workforce support for substance use disorder through substantial federal investment.

The sponsors highlight a history of attempting to reverse grant cancellations and reinstate fired SAMHSA personnel as context for the current proposal.

Senators Shaheen and Hassan introduced the companion Senate legislation to back the House action.

The legislation would require private insurers and Medicare Part D plans to cover naloxone with no copay or deductible and remove barriers like prior authorization that delay access to medication-assisted treatment.

Sponsors reference prior efforts to restore federal addiction and public health funding, including efforts to reinstate SAMHSA workers and restore nearly $12 billion in SAMHSA and CDC grants.
