Residential Recovery for Seniors Act
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to establish coverage for certain residential substance use disorder services under the Medicare program.
This bill aims to change Medicare by adding coverage for certain residential substance use disorder services. This means that people on Medicare who need treatment for drug or alcohol addiction could get help for staying in a treatment facility under their Medicare plan.
The bill would affect people who have Medicare and are struggling with substance use disorders. If the bill passes, it would make it easier for these individuals to access necessary treatment without worrying about the costs.
The bill was introduced on June 30, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means the same day. As of now, it is in the early stages of the legislative process. It has bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans.
