Plain-English Summary

This bill would help prevent overdose deaths among veterans by expanding access to overdose-reversal medications like naloxone and improving mental health and substance abuse treatment programs through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The legislation aims to address the opioid crisis affecting military veterans by making these life-saving tools and counseling services more readily available at VA facilities and to veterans in their communities. Veterans struggling with addiction and their families would be the primary beneficiaries of these expanded prevention and treatment resources.
