U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren launched a new survey of more than 70 organizations across Massachusetts providing dedicated behavioral health treatment and recovery services for patients suffering from substance use disorders.

"Providing adequate funding for access to quality behavioral health services should not be a partisan fight. This is a serious crisis that our communities are facing, and I plan to do everything I can to ensure organizations in Massachusetts--and across the country--receive the resources they need,” said Warren in the Survey’s opening letter.

The Survey 

The aim of the survey s to determine the challenges faced by various providers in responding to the opioid epidemic and treating patients with mental health needs or substance use disorders. 

The survey addresses a wide range of topics, including patient access, treatment services, insurance coverage and health care financing for patients. 

The resulting data will be compiled in a public report, and sent out in the fight to help close the "treatment gap" and equip health care providers with critical federal funding. 

The senator will further address the issue of substance use disorder, and how repeal of the Affordable Care Act will impact efforts to address the opioid crisis, during a visit to Manet Community Health Center in Quincy on Monday.
