2.Congress finds the following:
(1)The abuse of heroin and prescription painkillers is having a devastating effect on public health
and safety in communities across the United States. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdose deaths now
surpass traffic crashes in the number of deaths caused by injury in the
United States. In 2011, an average of about 110 people in the United
States died from drug overdose every day.
(2)Law enforcement officials and treatment experts throughout the country report that many
prescription opioid users have turned to heroin as a cheaper or more
easily obtained alternative to prescription drugs.
(3)Opioid pain relievers are the most widely misused or abused controlled prescription drugs (commonly
referred to as CPDs
) and are involved in most CPD-related overdose incidents. According to the Drug Abuse Warning
Network (commonly known as DAWN
), the estimated number of emergency department visits involving nonmedical use of prescription
opiates or opioids increased by 112 percent, from 84,671 to 179,787,
between 2006 and 2010.
(4)According to a report by the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors
(commonly referred to as NASADAD
), 37 States reported an increase in admissions to treatment for heroin use during the past 2
years, while admissions to treatment for prescription opiates increased
500 percent from 2000 to 2012.
(5)Addiction is a treatable disease. Discoveries in the science of addiction have led to advances in
the treatment of substance use disorders that help people stop abusing
drugs and prescription medications and resume their productive lives.
(6)According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (commonly referred to as ONDCP
), approximately 22,700,000 people in the United States needed substance use disorder treatment in
2013, but only 2,500,000 people received it.
(7)Effective substance abuse prevention can yield major economic dividends. Every dollar invested in
prevention can lead to savings between $2 and $20.
(8)According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, when schools and communities properly implement
science-validated substance abuse prevention programs, alcohol, tobacco,
and illicit drug abuse are reduced. Such programs help teachers, parents,
and health care professionals shape the perceptions of youths about the
risks of drug abuse.
(9)Diverting individuals with substance use disorders from criminal justice systems into
community-based treatment can save billions of dollars and prevent
sizeable numbers of crimes, arrests, and re-incarcerations over the course
of those individuals’ lives.
(10)According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, more than 1,700 tons of expired, unwanted prescription
medications have been collected over the past 31/2 years, following the
enactment of the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 (Public
Law 111–273; 124 Stat. 2858).
(11)Research shows that combining treatment medications with behavioral therapy is the best way to
ensure success for most patients. Treatment approaches must be tailored to
address the drug abuse patterns and drug-related medical, psychiatric, and
social problems of each individual. Different types of medications may be
useful at different stages of treatment to help a patient stop abusing
drugs, stay in treatment, and avoid relapse.
(12)Research indicates that combating the epidemic of opioid abuse, including abuse of prescription
painkillers and, increasingly, heroin, requires a multi-pronged approach
that involves reducing drug diversion, expanding delivery of existing
treatments (including medication-assisted treatments), expanding access to
overdose medications and interventions, and the development of new
medications for pain that can augment the existing treatment arsenal.
3.In this Act—
(1)the term Indian tribe
has the meaning given the term in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b);

Food and Drug Administration in combination with counseling and behavioral
therapies;
(3)the term ONDCP Recovery Branch
means the Recovery Branch of the Office of National Drug Control Policy;
(4)the term opioid
means any drug having an addiction-forming or addiction-sustaining liability similar to morphine
or being capable of conversion into a drug having such addiction-forming
or addiction-sustaining liability;
(5)the term Single State Authority for Substance Abuse
has the meaning given the term in section 201(e) of the Second Chance Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C.
17521(e)); and
(6)the term State
means any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
