New Law Addresses the Opioid Crisis

The Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act is comprised of approximately 70 bills aimed at addressing the national opioid crisis. Passage of this sweeping legislation was a notable bipartisan effort in response to the opioid crisis, which was declared a national public health emergency in 2017. Approximately 72,000 individuals are projected to have died from drug overdose in 2017, with the majority of those deaths involving opioids.
