Improving Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women Act of 2016

(Sec. 2) This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to extend support for residential substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women through FY2021.

(Sec. 3) The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment must carry out a pilot program to make grants to state substance abuse agencies to support services for pregnant and postpartum women who have a primary diagnosis of a substance use disorder, including opioid use disorders (opioids are drugs with effects similar to opium, such as heroin and certain pain medications).
