SAFE in Recovery Act
The SAFE in Recovery Act protects pregnant and postpartum individuals with substance use disorders by prohibiting toxicology testing without consent and preventing child welfare investigations based solely on prescribed medications for treatment. It establishes a Federal interagency task force to coordinate services across multiple departments and allocates $500 million for community health centers to expand behavioral health services. The bill also provides $60 million annually for Head Start programs to support children from families impacted by substance use disorder. These provisions aim to improve access to care while preventing unnecessary family separations.
