The third point of the HHS Five-Point Opioid Strategy focuses on improving access to treatment and recovery services. This aspect of the strategy emphasizes the importance of ensuring that individuals struggling with substance use disorder, particularly opioid use disorder, can obtain the treatment they need. Access to comprehensive treatment services is critical for effective recovery and includes a range of options such as medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and support groups.

Enhancing access not only addresses the immediate needs of those affected by opioid addiction but also helps to support long-term recovery and reduce the overall impact of the opioid crisis on communities. By prioritizing this element, the strategy aims to create a supportive system that can effectively respond to the ongoing challenges posed by opioid misuse and addiction.
