AI Summary

This bill aims to create at least two intensive stabilization and treatment units within the Department of Mental Health in Massachusetts. These units will provide specialized care and comprehensive evaluation, stabilization, and psychiatric treatment for patients who exhibit persistently aggressive, self-destructive, or intensively violent behavior. The units will be secured, physically separate from other units, and staffed with an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who have undergone specialized training to work effectively with this patient population. After behavior stabilization, the staff will develop a plan for the safe and timely transfer of the patient out of the intensive unit.
