New York State Insider: New York State Senator Pete Harckham: Important Substance Use Disorder Bill Passes Senate.

 

Thanks are due to my Senate colleagues for passing my legislation (S.5163) that designates substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, peer-led recovery support and transition programs as essential medical services inside the state’s correctional facilities. We know how effective these modes for substance use disorder are, and our top priority needs to be the healthfulness of our residents, no matter where they are.
