AI Summary

This bill aims to establish substance use disorder accountable care organizations (SUDACOs) in Massachusetts.

The bill directs the commission to identify unmet community needs and develop a plan to address them through SUDACOs, which would also manage high-risk prescribed medications used in alcohol and drug-free housing.
