The 'TREAT Youth Act' extends federal funding for programs that help young people prevent or recover from substance use disorders. It reauthorizes a youth initiative under the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, authorizing $10 million in fiscal year 2026 and gradually increasing to $15 million by fiscal year 2030. Schools, community organizations, and health providers working with teenagers and young adults struggling with drug or alcohol use could access these funds for education, outreach, and recovery support services. The five-year reauthorization reflects a sustained federal investment aimed at addressing youth substance use before it escalates into longer-term addiction.
