It’s a new year, and the 117th Congress is back in session.

Last year, members of Congress introduced many bills to address the addiction crisis, including efforts to increase access to treatment, expand recovery and other support services, prevent substance use and addiction, and reform the criminal justice system and improve crisis response.

However, these bills have yet to pass and become law, despite the immense and escalating addiction and overdose crises. We need your help urging lawmakers to pass these bills this year. All it takes to send a letter to your members of Congress is a few minutes to enter your name and address.

Bills currently before Congress would:

  • Provide funding for family support services
  • Improve parity enforcement to ensure equitable insurance coverage for addiction treatment
  • Require prescribers to undergo addiction training before receiving or renewing their license to prescribe controlled substances and make it easier to prescribe buprenorphine for addiction treatment
  • Remove barriers to treatment for individuals who have recently been incarcerated
  • Help states adopt and expand mobile crisis response services that connect people experiencing mental health or addiction crises to care, rather than jail
  • Reform federal reimbursement policy to incentivize use of non-opioid pain management approaches
  • And more!
