What is the Residential Recovery for Seniors Act?

As of 2022, an estimated 1.7 million Medicare beneficiaries had a substance use disorder (SUD). The **Residential Recovery for Seniors Act** is a proposed piece of legislation designed to expand Medicare coverage to include residential treatment options for older adults and people with disabilities struggling with addiction. Historically, traditional Medicare has not covered this specific level of care, leaving a critical gap in the continuum of addiction treatment for seniors.
