Bill Summary
Ensuring access to addiction services
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure access to addiction services by requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to maintain an adequate supply of beds for the treatment of alcohol or substance use disorders at licensed or approved facilities, which cannot be a jail or correctional facility. The bill also allows for the commitment of individuals to secure facilities licensed or approved by the Department of Public Health or the Department of Mental Health, as long as such facilities are geographically distributed throughout the Commonwealth. Additionally, the Department of Public Health is required to maintain a roster of available public and private facilities, including the number of beds and level of security at each, and make this information available to the trial court.
