Bill Summary
For legislation relative to best practices for sober homes. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish standards of best practice for "sober homes" - alcohol and drug-free housing facilities in Massachusetts. The bill requires these facilities to comply with standards set by the Department of Public Health, which will be developed by a special task force investigating best practices. The task force will look at issues like on-site supervision, access to treatment, medication dispensing, local zoning control, and the role of probation officers in monitoring individuals released to these homes. Only facilities that meet these new standards will be authorized to be called "sober homes."
