Bill > HB1149

This bill establishes comprehensive requirements for dual diagnosis treatment centers in Missouri, which are facilities providing treatment for both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. The bill defines key terms such as dual diagnosis treatment, medication management, and substance use disorder, and mandates that these centers actively manage patients' medications through tracking prescriptions, conducting regular medication reviews, providing patient education, collaborating with healthcare providers, and maintaining accurate records. The bill requires treatment centers to develop integrated, evidence-based, and individualized treatment plans that focus on patient-centered care and shared decision-making. Additionally, the legislation prohibits facilities from advertising dual diagnosis treatment services unless they meet the specified requirements, and mandates that centers clearly disclose their licensure and accreditation status in their marketing materials. The Department of Mental Health is tasked with enforcing these provisions, with violations potentially subject to penalties under existing mental health facility licensing regulations. The goal of the bill is to ensure high-quality, comprehensive care for individuals dealing with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
