Rhode Island Recovery Access and Community Care Act

This act directs the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals to coordinate a statewide network of community-based addiction-treatment clinics, expand access to medication-assisted treatment, naloxone, and overdose-prevention education, and establish recovery-navigation services connecting individuals with housing, employment, education, and family-support resources. The department shall prioritize underserved communities, require consistent referral and follow-up practices among participating providers, and report annually to the General Assembly on treatment access, retention, overdoses, and long-term recovery outcomes.
