Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, the Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, Education and Workforce, and Financial Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Turn the Tide Act provides substantial federal funding from 2027 through 2030 to combat substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and opioid-related deaths through a range of prevention, treatment, and recovery programs. The bill appropriates hundreds of millions of dollars annually for overdose prevention, medication-assisted treatment, recovery housing, drug courts, and first responder training, with priority funding directed to states experiencing the highest drug overdose death rates. A key provision eliminates insurance barriers by prohibiting states from using prior authorization requirements to restrict Medicaid coverage of medication-assisted treatment, effective October 2026, or face loss of federal Medicaid reimbursement. The legislation also expands loan repayment assistance for substance use disorder treatment workers and establishes a demonstration project to test whether recovery housing services reduce hospitalizations and emergency department visits for people with opioid use disorder. Additionally, the bill creates a new grant program providing $10 million annually to support trauma response teams working with children and families affected by adverse childhood experiences.
