CAREER Act of 2025

This bill keeps key addiction treatment, recovery, and job support programs going longer. It extends certain SUPPORT Act grants through 2030, so communities can keep running services that help people in recovery find and keep work.

It also aims funding where the crisis is worst. Decisions must look at which places had the highest overdose death rates from 2018–2022, using CDC data (including provisional 2022 data if needed). It removes a two‑year limit in one part of the law so these supports can continue .

• Who is affected: People in treatment and recovery; local programs that provide recovery housing and job training; states and communities with high overdose deaths.
• What changes: Grants are extended through 2030; funding is targeted based on 2018–2022 overdose death rates; a two‑year cap in one section is removed .
• When: Through 2030 for the extended grants; priority uses CDC data from 2018–2022.
