TREAT Youth Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The TREAT Youth Act amends the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act authorization for youth prevention and recovery. It authorizes $10 million for fiscal year 2026, $12 million for fiscal year 2027, $13 million for fiscal year 2028, $14 million for fiscal year 2029, and $15 million for fiscal year 2030.
Who Benefits and How
Youth substance use prevention programs, youth recovery programs, behavioral health providers serving adolescents, and families seeking youth recovery support benefit from a five-year authorization path with rising funding levels. HHS and SAMHSA program offices benefit from clearer authorized amounts for planning future youth prevention and recovery grants or activities.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal behavioral health program administrators must administer any appropriated funds and track use under the SUPPORT Act program. Federal taxpayers bear the cost if Congress later appropriates the authorized amounts. Grant applicants and youth behavioral health providers may need to meet program requirements to receive funds.
