Bill Summary

Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018

AI Summary

This bill, the Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018, proposes several key provisions to address the opioid crisis: It reauthorizes and expands funding for the 21st Century Cures Act to provide grants to states and Indian tribes to address the opioid abuse crisis. It also includes provisions to advance cutting-edge research on pain and pain management, clarify FDA regulation of non-addictive pain products, strengthen FDA and Customs and Border Protection coordination to restrict the entrance of illicit drugs, and provide training for first responders on handling dangerous drugs like fentanyl. The bill establishes comprehensive opioid recovery centers to provide a full continuum of treatment and recovery services. It also creates a program to support coordination and continuation of care for drug overdose patients, provides technical assistance for peer support services, and modifies regulations to allow more flexibility for medication-assisted treatment. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to identify best practices for operating recovery housing, address economic and workforce impacts of the opioid crisis, support youth prevention and recovery programs, and enhance data collection and public education efforts related to the opioid crisis. Overall, the bill takes a multi-pronged approach to addressing the opioid epidemic through research, prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives.
