Programs treating intravenous drug use must tell the State when they're nearly full. States must get people needing that treatment into a program within 14 days, or within 120 days if interim help starts within 48 hours. States must also push providers to encourage people who inject drugs to get help.

(a) Capacity of treatment programs — (1) Notification of reaching capacity. The State must require any program treating intravenous substance use disorders with grant money to tell the State once it reaches 90 percent of its capacity to admit new patients. (2) Provision of treatment. The State must make sure anyone who requests and needs this treatment gets into a program within 14 days of asking. If no program has room on the day someone asks, the State gets up to 120 days instead — but only if it starts giving that person interim services within 48 hours of the request. (b) Outreach to persons who inject drugs — When the State gives grant money to any organization for treating people who inject drugs, it must require that organization to actively encourage people who need treatment to get it.
