🚨 Access to methadone treatment is at risk.
Right now, Congress is considering H.R. 5629—a bill that could roll back critical treatment flexibilities that have helped patients across the country.
These changes help clinicians:
✔️ Provide take-home doses sooner to stable patients
✔️ Initiate treatment via telehealth
✔️ Administer higher initial doses, when clinically appropriate
✔️ Provide care in rural communities
Rolling this back would limit access to lifesaving care.
📢 Join us in calling on Congress to OPPOSE H.R. 5629.
