Last week, the Senate passed a reauthorization of the SUPPORT Act in a rare show of bipartisanship. The SUPPORT Act reauthorizes key prevention, treatment and recovery programs for patients with substance use disorder, including programs to support the behavioral health workforce. Among the reauthorized programs are the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery (STAR) Loan Repayment Program, helping bolster the workforce by providing loan repayment opportunities for SUD treatment and recovery providers in the face of severe workforce shortages — as well as critical recovery efforts through the Building Communities of Recovery (BCOR) program and comprehensive opioid recovery centers. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
