Summary
To expand access to methadone through alternative care models using pharmacies.
Plain-language summary
This bill would expand access to methadone, a medication used to treat opioid addiction, by allowing pharmacies to dispense it through new care models. Currently, methadone is primarily available through specialized clinics, which limits where people can get treatment. The bill aims to make treatment easier to access by using pharmacies as alternative locations. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early legislative stage.
