Veterans struggling with opioid use would get more virtual treatment options.
This bill would create a new two-year pilot program to help veterans enrolled in VA healthcare get virtual-based opioid treatment. It aims to make it easier for them to access care, especially if they face challenges getting in-person treatment. This means more outreach, referral networks, and a public awareness campaign to connect veterans with these services.
Today, veterans may struggle to access traditional in-person opioid treatment, and there isn't a specific program to expand virtual options through the VA's community care. If this bill becomes law, the VA would launch a two-year pilot program within 180 days to offer more virtual-based opioid treatment, including outreach, referral networks, and a public awareness campaign for enrolled veterans.
