40% of Americans can't find a mental health provider near them. In rural America, it's even worse. Governors are working on solutions, and NGA is with them every step of the way.

"A central problem plaguing this type of legislation is that it relies on the idea that MOUD requires steady, uninterrupted provision—which it does—while only making it available to people at the last possible minute."
