This is a report from the Brookings Institute (authors Pacula and Stein) that discusses three broad strategies states are taking, through a variety of policy levers, to enhance the quality of and access to treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD).

These strategies include: increasing insurance coverage and payment for OUD treatment services, expanding the existing treatment capacity for individuals with OUD, and developing more comprehensive and integrated treatment networks that link specialty substance use disorder treatment services with primary care and case management.
