Bill overview
The CREATE Opportunities Act aims to expand access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder. It establishes the Medication-Assisted Treatment Corrections and Community Reentry Program within the Department of Justice, allowing the National Institute of Corrections to award grants to states and local governments. These grants will support programs that provide MAT, along with recovery coaching and evidence-based counseling, to help reduce overdose risk and reincarceration rates. The bill also creates a review panel to evaluate grant applications and ensures accountability through reporting requirements.
