AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to change the civil commitment length of treatment for individuals with alcohol or substance use disorders. Specifically, it allows the court to order a person to be committed for a period not to exceed 90 days to a facility designated by the Department of Public Health, followed by the availability of case management services provided by the Department of Public Health for up to 1 year. The bill requires the court to hold a hearing that includes expert testimony and potentially other evidence to determine if the person has an alcohol or substance use disorder and if there is a likelihood of serious harm as a result of the disorder.
