Shaheen, Crapo Introduce New Bipartisan Legislation to Remove Barriers to Life-Saving Overdose Reversal Treatments for Veterans

"It is our duty to look out for those who bravely served our nation, and while we've made great strides towards ending the substance use epidemic, far too many veterans are still losing their lives due to overdoses. That is unacceptable, and it's imperative that we explore every avenue to make life-saving treatments more accessible at the VA," said Senator Shaheen. "I'm proud that this bipartisan bill would fill a critical gap in the care that VA facilities can provide to veterans by making it easier for them and their caregivers to get treatments that rapidly reverse overdoses, like naloxone, at no cost."
