In its final passage, the Comprehensive Opioid Recovery Centers (CORC) Act was also included, a bill I introduced with Reps.
@RepGuthrie,@repbenraylujan, and@RepLarryBucshon. Our bill would allow the@HHSGov to award grants to treatment facilities with comprehensive services.pic.twitter.com/TvW9aKBhxr1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Overall, H.R. 6 is a great first step to protect Americans from opioid addiction and to help Americans suffering from opioid abuse. However, it falls short of the necessary investment to ensure all Americans in need of treatment have access to the care they need to recover.
