The Commission to Combat Drug Abuse and the Opioid Crisis has come out with recommendations for quick action.

They include:

• Removing the cap on the number of beds at substance abuse facilities that can be covered by Medicaid.
• Increasing access to medication-assisted treatment.
• Developing better fentanyl detection devices for law enforcement.
• Stopping the flow of synthetic opioids through the U.S. Postal Service.

Sherrod has worked on legislation addressing these recommendations before — and he is urging his colleagues in Congress to act the minute they get back to Washington.
