Congress Passes Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Act
On Wednesday, December 16, the National Council’s yearlong advocacy push to improve mental health and substance use disorder treatment for justice-involved people resulted in Congress passing the Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Act. The bill, next heading to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law, authorizes direct support to community mental health and addiction treatment centers, as well as local jails, so they can better collaborate to fill the gaps and improve access to treatment.
