Improving Rules for Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs

This bill would make it easier for Michigan residents to access opioid addiction treatment, especially through mobile methadone clinics. The bill prevents the state from enforcing rules that limit the number of mobile treatment units, require clinics to return to a fixed location each night, or demand patients prove a year-long history of opioid use before starting methadone. It also removes extra paperwork requirements for continuing care and stops programs from discharging patients just for missing counseling. Overall, this bill is designed to expand access, reduce barriers, and support long-term recovery for people seeking substance use disorder treatment.
