States must give pregnant women priority for admission to substance abuse treatment facilities funded by their grant and advertise that preference. If no facility has room, the State must find one that does or provide interim care within 48 hours.

(a) In general — The State must make sure any pregnant woman who seeks, is referred for, or would benefit from treatment gets priority admission to any treatment facility funded by the grant. The State must also publicize both that this help is available to pregnant women and that they get this preference. (b) Referrals regarding States — If a treatment facility doesn't have room for a pregnant woman covered by subsection (a), the State must require that facility to refer her to the State instead. For each woman referred this way, the State must either send her to a facility that does have room, or — if no facility has room — start giving her interim services within 48 hours of when she first sought treatment.
