AI Summary
This bill, the Caring Recovery for Infants and Babies Act (CRIB Act), amends the Medicaid program to allow states the option of providing medical assistance, on an inpatient or outpatient basis, at a "residential pediatric recovery center" for infants under 1 year of age diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (a condition caused by drug withdrawal in newborns). The bill defines a "residential pediatric recovery center" as a facility that provides care and services to these infants and their families. It also expresses the sense of Congress that these recovery centers should offer counseling and other services to the mothers and family members of the infants receiving treatment.
