What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services (DHS) to create two or

three regional comprehensive opioid treatment programs to provide treatment for

opiate addiction in rural and underserved, high-need areas. In creating the

program, DHS must obtain and review proposals for opioid treatment programs in

accordance with its request-for-proposal procedures. These programs may not offer

methadone treatment.

An opioid treatment program, under the bill, must offer an assessment to

individuals in need of service to determine what type of treatment is needed. The

opioid treatment program must provide counseling, medication-assisted treatment,

and abstinence-based treatment. If a licensed residential program is necessary for

an individual, the opioid treatment program must transition the individual there.

The opioid treatment program must transition individuals who have completed

treatment to county-based or private post-treatment care. The bill also requires

DHS to submit annually, beginning approximately two years after the bill's effective

date, a progress report on the outcomes of the opioid treatment program to the Joint

Committee on Finance and appropriate standing committees of the legislature.
