Detailed information on the types of substance use disorders for which the entity has the experience, capability, and capacity to provide such services. An analysis of how the entity handles patients requiring treatment for a substance use disorder that the organization is not able to treat. An analysis of what is needed in order to improve the entity’s ability to meet the addiction treatment needs of the communities served by that entity. Based on the identified needs of the communities served, a description of unmet needs and inadequate services and how such needs and services could be better addressed to treat individuals with methamphetamine, cocaine, including crack cocaine, heroin, opioid, and other substance use disorders.
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall develop and submit to Congress a plan to direct appropriate resources to entities that provide substance use disorder treatment services in order to address inadequacies in services or funding identified through the survey described in subsection (a).
